Special Issue on Human Rights and Social Justice

Human Rights and Social Justice examines the principles, institutions, and practices aimed at promoting human dignity, equality, and fairness across societies. It focuses on the protection of fundamental rights—such as civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights—while addressing systemic inequalities, discrimination, and marginalization. The field integrates perspectives from law, political science, sociology, and ethics to analyze how power structures, public policies, and social movements influence the realization of justice. It also emphasizes advocacy, legal frameworks, and community-based approaches to advance inclusive development, accountability, and equitable access to resources and opportunities at local, national, and global levels.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Human Rights and Social Justice. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Human rights law

• Racial justice
• Indigenous rights
• Refugee and migration studies
• Economic justice
• Environmental justice
