Publications Unit

 

 

The Publications Unit manages the production of the Human Rights Law Centre’s three regular periodical publications, each with wide international readership. It also oversees the publication of the research outputs of Centre projects, including Unit publications, conference and workshop reports, training manuals and other key pieces of research. The Unit keeps HRLC’s members, fellows and international support network up to date with its activities through the publication of a bi-annual Centre Newsletter, which is available online and in hard copy.

 

Activities

Core Unit activities include:

• The International Human Rights Reports collect together primary source materials on a wide range of international human rights matters. These include decisions of the UN Human Rights Committee, the UN Torture Committee, the Inter American Court of Human Rights and the African Commission of Human and Peoples' Rights, as well as international human rights treaties and declarations.
• The Yearbook of the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment contains primary materials relating to the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture. Edited and published by HRLC for the Council of Europe.
• The Human Rights Law Review is the leading UK-based international human rights journal. The Review publishes critical articles that consider human rights in their various contexts, from global to national levels, book reviews, analysis of recent jurisprudence and practice of the UN and regional human rights systems and of other current developments. Edited and administered by the HRLC and published by Oxford University Press.
• Oxford Reports on International Law - HRLC has prepared the entries for the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights cases and the European Court of Human Rights cases in these online reports, which you can see at www.oxfordlawreports.com. This human rights database of Oxford University Press provides electronic access to the entire jurisprudence of public international law.
