THE NEW REVIEW OF HUMAN RIGHTS

 

I The Editor

 

Noua Revistă de Drepturile Omului / The New Review of Human Rights (NRDO) is a quarterly publication of the Center for International Studies in cooperation with the C.H. Beck publishing house, the most important legal publishing house in Romania. C.H. Beck is responsible solely for the layouting and distribution of the NRDO, while the entire responsibility for the contents rests with the Editor. The quarterly is the successor to the Romanian Human Rights Review (Revista Romana de Drepturile Omului), published by APADOR-CH between 1993 and 2005. The New Review of Human Rights was first published immediately after the discontinuance of the Romanian Human Rights Review, in 2005.

The Review’s director is Gabriel ANDREESCU, a minority rights specialist and Associate Professor at the Political Science Department of the National School for Political Studies and Administration (Bucharest). The director of the NRDO is responsible, together with the Scientific Council, for the contents of the Review.

 

The Scientific Council is responsible for the quality of the studies published in the NRDO. It brings together some of the best (and most well-known) human rights specialists in Romania, and well-known scholars from abroad. Corneliu-Liviu POPESCU, Professor at the University of Bucharest’s School of Law and at the Bucharest-based Legal College of European Studies of the Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne (France), currently acts as President of the Council.

 

III Structure of the Review

 

The New Review of Human Rights consists of 5 sections. The first contains studies on legal doctrine, the contents of the second is determined together with a partner association, the third includes reports or significant essays on human rights, the fourth offers jurisprudential literature or similar materials relevant to the field of human rights, while the fifth reprints classical or other significant studies in the fields of legal philosophy and the philosophy of human rights and fundamental liberties.

 

The partner-section of the NRDO mentioned above is the result of the cooperation between the NRDO and another organization active in the field of human rights. This editorial strategy was chosen in order to diversify the contents of the Review and render it relevant to practical needs in the field. Since 2006 the partner organization is the National Council for the Combating of Discrimination.
