About the U of OxHRH Journal
The University of Oxford Human Rights Hub Journal (U OxHRH J) is an open-access and peer-reviewed journal on human rights.

The U of OxHRH J is available freely online. Anyone can easily access the intellectually rigorous, interdisciplinary research on human rights offered by the U of OxHRH J.
The Journal Team
The U of OxHRH J editorial team is geographically diverse and brings a wealth of experience to the study and practice of human rights law.
