About the Journal

The Latin American Human Rights Studies (LAHRS) is an open access, online, and annual journal by the PhD Program in Human Rights of the Federal University of Goias (UFG), Brazil. Founded in 2021, it promotes high-quality interdisciplinary research on human rights through a rigorous double-blind peer-review process and adheres to international academic publishing standards. 

LAHRS was founded and is led by Heitor Pagliaro, a tenured professor of Law at UFG. He previously served as Deputy Director and later as Director of the PhD Program in Human Rights. His research is concentrated in the fields of philosophy of law and political philosophy.

We publish a single volume per year, which may include one or more thematic sections organized by experienced scholars in the field. Each thematic section has its own submission deadline, and articles are published on a rolling basis as soon as they are approved. Before submitting a manuscript, please review the current calls for papers. The journal primarily focuses on peer-reviewed scientific articles, but reviews, translations, and research-related interviews are also welcome.
