Full Description
The Chinese Yearbook of Human Rights publishes a selection of peer reviewed Chinese journal articles from the perspectives of law, philosophy, political science, history, international relations and other relevant academic disciplines.
The Yearbook was originally founded in cooperation with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 2003. Due to the lack of funding, it was suspended for a few years, and was revived through a cooperation between the Institute for Human Rights at the China University of Political Science and Law, and the Center for Human Rights Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 2021.
Volume 7 of the Yearbook (2025) explores contemporary human rights challenges through theoretical and practical perspectives, focusing on the interpretation of human rights in the digital age and implementation of some specific rights such as the right to work and the right to be free from poverty. Several other topics are also covered, including fundamental human rights theories, and comparative studies of international, regional and nation-specific institutions and practices of human rights.
