  Review By: Arie Bloed

The submissions have been reviewed by the Editorial Board and external experts and the Security and Human Rights Monitor is administered under the auspices of the Netherlands Helsinki Committee, based in The Hague.

We look forward to continue contributing to debate and analysis on the work of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and on the intersection of security and human rights more generally.

Authors interested in publishing their views in the Security and Human Rights journal and on the Security and Human Rights Monitor are invited to send their policy articles to our Web Editor-in-Chief, Stephanie Liechtenstein (Stephanie_liechtenstein@yahoo.com) and their academic articles to our Managing Editor, Jennifer Pampolina (jpampolina@nhc.nl).
