Story of the Journal

The Journal of International Law and Human Rights is an academic law journal focused on questions of international law and human rights. Its first part deals with general issues, treaties and recent cases relevant in International Law and Human Rights, such as the implementation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Vienna Conventions and the International Court of Justice case law. The purpose of this part is to review International Law  in the most extensive and elaborate way within the scope of human rights.

While its second part is focused on a theme meticulously chosen by the editorial board to reflect the ever-changing world. In this part, the authors have the opportunity to focus more deeply on one subject area currently discussed by scholars.

The Journal is student-run by master’s students at the University of Tartu who are elected to the editorial board.

The Journal was founded at the initiative of Delphine Saint-Martin as she strived to give the opportunity to fellow law students to have enable them to research issues and questions of international law through the scope of human rights.
