Call for Edited Collection Chapters: Charting the Council’s Future: Reflections on the United Nations Human Rights Council at Twenty
This edited volume will bring together interdisciplinary scholarship to assess the evolution, performance, and future of the UNHRC at this critical juncture. We invite contributions that critically examine the Council’s role in global governance, its successes and failures, and its capacity to navigate an increasingly multipolar and fragmented international landscape.
We welcome submissions from scholars and civil society representatives working in international law, human rights, political science, international relations, and related disciplines. Contributions from Global South scholars and early-career researchers are particularly encouraged.
