Welcome to the Review of Human Rights RHR is published annually and started in 2015. It is a double-blind, peer-reviewed journal devoted to research in the field of human rights, broadly conceived. It seeks to engage in critical study of existing approaches to human rights and develop new methods on the theory and practice of human rights. The journal strives to meet the growing academic need and interest in the study and practice of human rights in the developing world, especially the war–torn countries. The Journal aims to serve as an arena for the public discussion and scholarly analysis of human rights. Moreover, the Journal is committed to theoretical and ideological diversity in the study of human rights. Accordingly, the editor welcomes papers not only from scholars and disciplines traditionally associated with the study of human rights, but also from those in other disciplines in social science and humanities. The editor also welcomes ideas for special issues and symposia.
