African Human Rights Law Journal (AHRLJ)
The African Human Rights Law Journal publishes peer-reviewed contributions dealing with human rights related topics of relevance to Africa, Africans and scholars of Africa. The Journal appears twice a year, in March and October.
The Journal appears on the list of accredited journals of the South African Department of Education and is included in the International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBBS).
As democratic practices and the protection of human rights struggle to become rooted in Africa, and an African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights is in the process of being established, the African Human Rights Law Journal has been launched. There is a more pressing need for a monitoring and reporting periodical in this field in Africa than ever before.
The Journal aims to publish contributions dealing with human rights related topics of relevance to Africa, Africans and scholars of Africa. In the process, the African Human Rights Law Journal hopes to contribute towards an indigenous African jurisprudence.
The ISSN of the African Human Rights Law Journal is: ISSN 1996-2096
