Current Issue

Special Issue about Human Rights and The Faroe Islands

This special issue is intended as a contribution to the academic debate concerning human rights in the context of the Faroe Islands. Human rights is a well-established research field cutting across diverse disciplines, several of which are represented in this special issue. However, we acknowledge that there remain important questions and lines of conflict within human rights which are not addressed.
