Theme for Submission
Over the last fifty years the international law of human rights has steadily achieved a moral plateau rarely associated with the law of nations. A diverse and eclectic assortment of individuals and entities now invoke human rights norms and the attendant phraseology with the intent of cloaking themselves and their causes in the paradigm’s perceived power and righteousness. What is interesting is the failure of this universal reliance on the language of human rights to create agreement on the scope, content, and philosophical bases of the human rights corpus. Intellectual and policy battles have focused on its cultural relevance and ideological aberrations. The human rights corpus, taken as a whole, as a document of ideals and values, particularly the positive law of human rights, requires the construction of states to reflect the structures and values of governance that derive from liberalist ideals, especially the contemporary variations of liberal democracy practiced in Western democracies. Viewed from this perspective, the human rights regime has serious and dramatic implications for questions of cultural diversity, the sovereignty of states, and the universality of human rights.
In the same vein, the Human Rights law Journal will focus on the following dominant discourses on the human rights;
1. Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law
2. Gender Justice and Human Rights
3. Human Rights of Tribes and Indigenous People
4. Human Rights and Racial Discrimination
5. Expanding Horizons of Human Rights in the 21st Century.
6. Human Rights and the financial inclusion.
Note: Authors are free to choose any sub-topics under these themes and areas. Submissions should demonstrate strong methodological approach, high writing quality, robust analysis, and adherence to the topic.
