Rights Review

ABOUT

Rights Review is the independent student-led publication of the International Human Rights Program at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. All articles and publications are from the U of T community. The views expressed in each article are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Rights Review Editorial Board or the IHRP.

We publish online and in print each month in the law school's student newspaper, Ultra Vires. You can also find us on Twitter and Facebook.
