Open Global Rights is an independent platform for analysis and opinion on international human rights issues, hosted by the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice and the Future of Rights Program at NYU School of Law.
We regularly publish some of the leading names in human rights academia and practice. We also pride ourselves on amplifying voices from all corners of the globe, publishing authors from more than 90 countries in 35 languages since our launch in 2013.
Our goal is to promote exchange about and throughout the human rights ecosystem.
We believe that human rights works best when its many actors converse, learn, and innovate across geographic, linguistic, and disciplinary lines. OpenGlobalRights gathers those voices, providing a space where different ideas and experiences enrich our understanding of what human rights are and what they can be in the work of creating a more just and sustainable world.
The views expressed in the articles and opinions on Open Global Rights are those of the individual authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the editors, the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice or the Future of Rights Program at NYU School of Law. Our platform serves as a diverse space for global voices, fostering dialogue on international human rights issues across various perspectives.
