Access to the debates shaping these networks’ activities, however, is still restricted by language, money, ideology, and power.
openGlobalRights (oGR) is a multilingual, online forum dedicated to debating human rights work from all perspectives. On it, editors cultivate new and established authors, highlight cutting-edge disagreements, and publish work by advocates, practitioners and scholars worldwide. They take special care to highlight perspectives from the global south, and encourage debate across global cleavages of all kinds.
Since its launch in June 2013, oGR has cultivated several debates including, emerging powers and human rights, funding for human rights, religion and human rights, the International Criminal Court, internationalizing human rights organizations, public opinion and human rights, evaluation and impact assessment in human rights, economic inequality and human rights and most recently, on the future of refugee protection.
