About the Journal
The Nordic Journal of Human Rights is a leading academic journal for human rights research. The Journal takes a broad, multi-disciplinary and pluralistic approach to human rights as a legal, political and social practice. We publish high quality scholarship analysing the past, present or future of human rights from a variety of theoretical and methodological viewpoints. We welcome original, innovative and reflective contributions that advance knowledge about human rights from the perspectives of law, political science, history, anthropology, philosophy, sociology and any other academic discipline with an interest in human rights. Geographically, the Journal takes a global perspective, welcoming submissions on human rights in the Nordic region and beyond. We also publish notes on current legal developments, as well as book reviews and book essays
Founded in 1982 as Mennesker & Rettigheter, The Nordic Journal of Human Rights is one of the oldest academic journals in the field of human rights. It is edited by the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights at the University of Oslo, in collaboration with Nordic human rights research centres. Our Editorial Board consists of leading scholars from all over the world representing multiple disciplines.
The journal is published in English and is an international, ranked, peer-reviewed journal which publishes original research contributions to scientific knowledge.
