About the Australian Journal of Human Rights
The Australian Journal of Human Rights is a publication of the
Australian Human Rights Centre (AHRC). Located in the
Faculty of Law at the
University of New South Wales, AHRC is an independent
non-government organisation dedicated to encouraging multidisciplinary teaching and research in the area of
human rights at the national, regional and international levels.
The Australian Journal of Human Rights was established in 1991. It is the first journal of its kind in Australia to be
devoted to the publication of articles, commentary and book reviews about human
rights developments in Australia, the Asia-Pacific region and internationally.
The journal is published twice a year and aims to:
- raise awareness of human rights issues in Australia and globally
by providing a forum for scholarship and discussion, and
- monitor contemporary human rights developments.
The Journal adopts a broad-based multidisciplinary approach to human
rights issues. It deals not only with the legal aspects of human rights but
also the philosophical, historical, sociological, economic and political dimensions.
Journal articles are subject to a peer review process.
