Call for Papers/Submission

Scholars and practitioners are invited to submit articles for JHRL-SL Journal’s Issue No. 1, to be published in December 2013, with a focus on human rights law in Sierra Leone.
This program is initiated by Lawyers for Human Rights- Sierra Leone, and the Society for Democratic Initiatives, Sierra Leone and the Sierra Leone Bar Association. The goal of this program is to strengthen the work of academic and human rights activists through the promotion of a high-quality debate on human rights issues, primarily with a Sierra Leonean perspective. Contributions from other parts of the world, however, are also welcome, especially if they are relevant for the theory and practice of human rights in Sierra Leone.
JHRL-SL welcomes articles that explore the relationship between other strands of law and human rights in different contexts in Sierra Leone, including analyses on how legislative and institutional frameworks shape constitutionalism and human rights decision-making processes, especially within Sierra Leonean law and particularly with respect to emerging and rising powers in government.
We will also welcome articles related to human rights law in Sierra Leone, or international human rights law that is relevant to Sierra Leone. This may include constitutional law, human rights law, criminal law, etc. Examples of potential submissions include case studies or case reviews of human rights violations in Sierra Leone.
Submissions should be approximately 3500 words in length, but should not exceed 5000 words plus notes and references. Articles should be your own original work. The Electronic Tracking Device (ETD) will be used to determine originality of papers published. Any article found to violate intellectual ethical rules will not be considered.
