About the Journal

Revista Internacional de Derechos Humanos is an open-access biannual law journal whose main objective is to publish scientific research that addresses the international promotion and protection of human rights.

It has been published since 2011 at the initiative of the Centro Latinoamericano de Derechos Humanos (in English, Latin American Center for Human Rights), with the support of the University of Zaragoza (Spain). As of 2021, the journal is published by Universidad Austral (Argentina) and has consequently been included within the university’s journal portal.

Its main purpose is to contribute to the dialogue and debate about the promotion and protection of human rights from different perspectives, specifically from an interdisciplinary, inter-institutional and interregional viewpoint.

Research papers and scientific contributions must be original and address human rights issues in a broad sense (theoretical, practical, historical, systematic, etc.), but always from a primarily legal approach (although other disciplines and perspectives may also be addressed).

 

Selection of manuscripts and peer review system

Submissions are received for free—no submission or article processing fees are charged.

Then, they are subjected to double-blind review by two peer reviewers. Finally, the Editorial Committee decides whether the manuscript should be accepted or rejected, and communicates the decision to the author.
