Italian Yearbook of Human Rights

The Italian Yearbook of Human Rights is a periodic publication edited by the Human Rights Centre of the University of Padova. Both the Italian and the English versions are published by Padova University Press (Italian editions from 2011 to 2015 by Marsilio publishing, Venice; English editions from 2011 to 2020, by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers, Bruxelles).

The Italian Yearbook of Human Rights intends to annually take stock of how the international human rights monitoring system assesses Italy's performance, in order to provoke an informed and open debate on this fundamental feature of public life.

The first edition of the Yearbook was published in 2011, the year in which the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification was celebrated.
