Scholarly reflections on the nature and impact of human rights law.
The language of human rights figures prominently in legal and political debates at the national, regional and international levels. This series provides a forum for scholarly reflection on all aspects of the law of human rights. The series encourages work which engages critically with the theoretical, comparative and international dimensions of human rights law. The primary objective is to publish books that offer insights into human rights law in its contextual setting. The series is inclusive, in the sense that all approaches to legal scholarship are welcome. It incorporates the work of new and established scholars.
Human Rights Law in Perspective offers an essential intellectual home for significant contributions to human rights law.
