《人權法律評論》成立于2001年，旨在促進對人權法律和政策問題的認識、知識和討論。這項審查雖然以學術為重點，但也引起了更廣泛的人權團體的興趣，包括政府、政府間和非政府領域內與法律、政策和實地工作有關的團體。該報告發表了從全球到國家各級不同背景下考慮人權問題的重要文章、書評和專門分析聯合國和區域人權制度的最新判例和實踐的章節。

Launched in 2001, Human Rights Law Review seeks to promote awareness, knowledge, and discussion on matters of human rights law and policy. While academic in focus, the Review is also of interest to the wider human rights community, including those in governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental spheres, concerned with law, policy, and fieldwork. The Review publishes critical articles that consider human rights in their various contexts, from global to national levels, book reviews, and a section dedicated to analysis of recent jurisprudence and practice of the UN and regional human rights systems.
