We are constantly looking for contributions in German and English for the upcoming
issues. The editorial deadline for the first issue of this year (Vol. 31 No. 1) is 15 February 2026. Contributions can be submitted directly via our website at https://menschenrechtsmagazin.de/index.php/mrm/about/submissions.
The MRM is published twice a year at the beginning of the summer and winter
semesters as an open-access-publication. The contributions published in the MRM
explore international human rights protection from historical, philosophical, political
science and legal perspectives. The MRM offers the possibility to publish articles in the “Essay” section, which are subject to a double-blind peer review process.
Comments, controversies, short articles or event-related discussions are welcome in the general “Contributions” section.
We are also interested in case discussions and book reviews.
Articles in the “Contributions” section, as well as case discussions and book reviews,
are subject to editorial review.
“Essays” and “Contributions” should not exceed 10,000 words (including footnotes).
They should be preceded by a German and English abstract of no more than 200
words and 5-10 keywords in German and English.
Case discussions should not exceed the word limit of 5,000 words (including footnotes). They should be preceded by approximately five key sentences in German and English.
Individual book reviews should not exceed the word limit of 5,000 words (including footnotes). In the case of collective reviews or in individual cases, the length may be extended by agreement.
