ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Human Rights Law Journal (HRLJ) is an annual, double-blind peer reviewed academic journal bearing ISSN No. 2581-3307 and does not charge any submission fees. It is published by National Law University Odisha, Cuttack, with an objective of encouraging legal writing and scholarship in the field of human rights. The Journal started in the year 2016 and has received quality submissions, both doctrinal and empirical in nature from members of the legal academia, professionals and students.

Human rights perspective is at the nucleus of an array of rights and the canvas of justice that law offers. Human Rights standards can provide boundaries to law and associated disciplines that can modulate the substantive as well as the procedural aspects of such discourses. Hence, HRLJ encourages discussion and analyses nuanced with human rights approaches that adequately reflect contemporary challenges, changing nature of human rights, expanding horizon of rights and obligations in general, and anything under the broader ambit of human rights. The editorial board of Human Rights Law Journal encourages focused scholarly writings and invites submissions from academicians, researchers and legal practitioners. The Journal accepts submissions in the form of articles, case comments, legislative comments and book review.
