Volume VII, 2025

This book collects 5 state-of-the-art analyses prepared by Ph.D. students addressing human rights-related topics in their respective doctoral programmes. These works show an interesting shift in the interests of our human rights-focused scholar community. The research projects that motivated these chapters address social and institutional practices and mechanisms that contribute to the cause of human rights and represent practical tools that support struggles for justice and peace. Rather than interrogating on the ‘ontology’ of human rights, the contributions presented here delve into their ‘ontic’, elaborating on objects in relative isolation from an overarching human rights narrative.
