The Australian Journal of Human Rights was established in 1991. It is the first journal of its kind in Australia to be devoted to the publication of articles, commentary and book reviews about human rights development in Australia, the Asia Pacific region and internationally. The journal, which is 'A' ranked, is published twice a year and aims to:

• raise awareness of human rights in Australia and globally by providing a forum for scholarship and discussion; and
• monitor contemporary human rights developments.

The Journal adopts a broad-based multidisciplinary approach to human rights issues. It deals not only with the legal aspects of human rights but also the philosophical, historical, economic and political dimensions.

Journal articles are subject to a peer review process.
