CALL FOR PAPERS

Empowerment through Law of the Common People (ELCOP) is inviting unpublished original papers for the ELCOP Journal on Human Rights aligning with theme of the 23^rd Human Rights Summer School (HRSS) i.e., Human Rights in Multipolar World.

Prologue to the 23rd HRSS Publication

The concept of the existence of one single world and reality as the ultimate “truth” is a myth. In the epoch of multipolar world, the growing economic and political influence of Asian, African, Middle Eastern, and Latin American nations is challenging the Western hegemony in world order. Countries which are global flagbearers of human rights are allegedly supporting commission of genocide. North-South division regarding Ukraine and Palestinian humanitarian crisis seems all time high. The actions and stances of global powers such as the USA and its western allies further underscore the variety of realities at play. While condemning atrocities in some regions like Myanmar and Ukraine, the same countries are lending support to gross human rights violations in Palestine, also justifying Israel’s action under the banner of self-defense.

In the 23^rd HRSS we would like to highlight both, macro and micro dynamics of the theme “Human Rights in a Multipolar World”. Authors may find the following topics (not an exhaustive list) relevant with the theme for their scholarly contribution in ELCOP Journal on Human Rights (EJHR).

Human rights, cultural diversity, cultural relativism and multiculturalism
Challenges of statehood, sovereignty, self-determination and global governance in a multipolar world
