Sources & Links — The Corpus's Evidence Shelf
This page is the registry of the most-cited and most load-bearing sources behind the corpus's claims. Sources are grouped by type: primary documents, courts and investigations, institutional data, annual trackers, NGO and legal analysis, and academic scholarship. Every link points to the official publisher or institution (or the Avalon Project's document collection for historical charters) — never to unofficial mirrors. Each entry also carries an archived copy via the Wayback Machine, so the evidence shelf survives link rot. Paywalled or print-only works are listed with their publisher pages or library records; where no legitimate online copy exists, the entry says so plainly rather than guessing a link.
Link check performed 2026-08-04. A handful of institutional sites (UNRWA, IOM DTM, IPC, B'Tselem, knesset.gov.il) serve bot-protection challenges to automated checkers; they load normally in a browser and are noted below.
