Plus de 80 % des documents contenus dans le Reader sont accessibles en version intégrale par tous les utilisateurs. Dans la présente version française, nous avons tenté de fournir un maximum de documents en français. Il n'a cependant pas toujours été possible de trouver une telle documentation, auquel cas nous avons proposé des lectures en anglais issue de la version anglaise du Reader.

Grâce au soutien généreux des auteurs des articles conseillés et inclus dans le Reader, nous sommes en mesure de fournir l'accès à plusieurs documents de qualité. Un mot de passe peut être attribué à des utilisateurs enseignant le droit des réfugiés à l'université, des étudiants ou des professionnels travaillant dans des centres d'aide juridique. Pour plus d'informations, contacter le Comité Helsinki Hongrois à l'adresse électronique indiquée à la fin de cette section.

Étant donné le nombre important de lectures de référence et complémentaires accessibles sur le site du Reader, nous recommandons de n'en imprimer qu'une sélection. Les professeurs peuvent choisir de ne donner à leurs étudiants que des extraits des lectures conseillées. Les documents, et en particulier les instruments juridiques longs, peuvent souvent être lus en ligne.

Un des avantages significatifs de la version électronique du Reader est qu'il permet de garantir un accès aux versions intégrales des instruments juridiques, des documents et de la jurisprudence, offrant ainsi une source bibliographique substantielle pour la recherche universitaire. Notons que, pour les fins de citation, le format PDF ne reproduit pas toujours la numérotation des pages de la publication originale : il est donc judicieux de consulter la citation intégrale donnée par le syllabus.

Adaptation du Reader aux besoins spécifiques du cours

Les recommandations éditoriales pour la répartition du nombre d'heures de cours consacrées à chaque thème et sous-thèmes sont faites pour un cours de 48 heures ou des modules de 24 et 12 heures.
