Call for Papers

The Essex Human Rights Review (EHRR) is a new online publication edited 
by graduate students at the University of Essex.

EHRR welcomes articles, book reviews and other contributions on 
contemporary human rights issues, primarily (but not exclusively) in the 
areas of law, political science, sociology, and philosophy, covering 
both the academic and the practical aspects of human rights. For our 
June 2004 issue, we would particularly welcome submissions that focus on 
the following topics:

- Defending human rights in Africa
- Rights of minorities: The case of the Roma
- Human rights in religion - religion in human rights?

All submissions should be in English. The contributions must be 
original, previously unpublished material. Submissions must not already 
be under consideration for any other publication. The length of 
submissions should not exceed 8,000 words for articles and 3,000 words 
for other items (e.g. book/conference reviews), including footnotes. 
Submissions exceeding the word limit will be considered only in 
exceptional circumstances. The initial appraisal of all submissions will 
be carried out on an anonymous basis; the final decision on the 
acceptance of a paper rests with the EHRR�s Editorial Board.

Please e-mail your submissions in Microsoft Word format, together with 
full contact details, to: ehrr@essex.ac.uk, by April 16, 2004. The 
subject line of your e-mail should include the title of your article. 
Submissions must follow the EHRR style sheet, which can be obtained from 
the editors at the above e-mail address, to which any other queries may 
also be sent.
