This year, the ‘In Focus’ theme is sanctuary. The idea behind this theme is to explore how marginalised communities can achieve sanctuary on this planet. Importantly, in Volume X, we wanted writers to interrogate the concept of the ‘human’ in human rights discourse by focusing on the environment, other species and groups often depicted as less-than-human. We hope the probing work of University of Leeds undergraduate students will encourage you to expand your definition of human rights and what or who is included in its framework.
