SPECIAL ISSUE: INTERNATIONAL LAW, THE GLOBAL SOUTH AND THE QUESTION OF PALESTINE

About the journal

Founded in 1985 by the Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS) and housed at the School of Law, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, the South African Journal on Human Rights (or SAJHR) is the leading South African public law journal, publishing scholarship of the highest standard for a worldwide readership. The journal is dedicated to the advancement of scholarship on human rights, constitutional and justice-related law in South Africa.

This Special Issue of the South African Journal on Human Rights on International Law, the Global South and The Question of Palestine invites scholars and activists to critically explore why this is the case, and what lessons might be learnt – for better and worse – about the Global South’s engagement with colonialism, apartheid and racial injustice in South Africa and Palestine. How do those lessons illuminate paths to avoid and paths yet to be taken? What are the risks and the potential of such engagement and what may other case studies also offer in this regard? We welcome contributions across different theoretical and methodological (legal, socio-legal and inter-disciplinary) approaches.

Abstracts of 400-500 words should be sent to [email protected] and [email protected] by 30 April 2024. Successful applicants will be advised by the end of July 2024.
