Publishing and Organisation of the SHRM

The predecessors of the SHRM, the Helsinki Monitor then the journal Security and Human Rights have been published in hard copy by the esteemed Brill/Nijhoff (Brill). While it still encompasses a peer-reviewed journal to be published by Brill it has evolved into a multifaceted platform that provides analysis on the work of the OSCE, as well as on security and human rights challenges stemming from the OSCE region and beyond. The academic articles of the SHRM will be published on the site through Open Access in addition to annual/bi-annual publication in hard copy by Brill.
