[Reader-list] Call for submissions - COHRE Housing and ESC Rights Law Quarterly

[Prabhjot]

      Call for submissions



      The Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE) seeks submissions for publication in the Housing and ESC Rights Law Quarterly.  This is an opportunity not only to promote the good work of individuals and organisations around the world but to contribute to the growing movement to ensure that economic, social and cultural rights are enforceable on an equal footing with civil and political rights.  Indeed, the Quarterly is considered an essential housing and economic, social and cultural rights advocacy tool.  By providing up-to-date jurisprudence, presenting model legislation, and encouraging litigation strategy-related discussion, it empowers advocates seeking to forward housing and ESC rights.  It also instructs national, regional and international debates around ESC rights litigation and justiciability. 



      As of the end of 2009, the digital version of the Quarterly is read by thousands.  Readers include those working in NGOs and national human rights institutions, human rights lawyers, and UN and government officials.  In addition, the hardcopy Quarterly is sent to an ever-growing number of human rights advocates, working in an academic, government or civil society context.  The Quarterly is also provided to university and other libraries and research centres throughout the world.



      COHRE seeks articles on specific ESC rights cases, jurisprudence and legislation as well as shorter “case notes” on notable ESC rights cases and shorter “cases to watch” regarding relevant cases currently pending before international or domestic courts.  These articles, case notes and cases to watch offer an opportunity to promote your work on the legal enforcement of economic, social and cultural rights to a broad community of human rights advoctes.
