"Where do your rights come from? Many people assume they are born with them. But there is a powerful school of thought in political theory that says something quite different: rights do not float in the air as gifts of nature. They exist only because the state recognises, defines, and enforces them.

"The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is widely recognized as having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their preambles)."

"The ninth edition of the International Journal on Rule of Law, Transitional Justice and Human Rights in front of you is a peer-reviewed International Journal published by the Association “Pravnik” and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung’s Rule of Law Programme South East Europe. This International Journal is a direct output of the International Summer School Sarajevo (ISSS) which our two organisations co-organise since 2006. During its 11 editions the International Summer School Sarajevo has attracted over three hundred students and young professionals from Europe, Asia and the Americas. After each edition of the International Summer School Sarajevo, our aim was to engage our alumni to contribute to academic discussion with their papers on contemporary topics such as Rule of Law, Transitional Justice or Human Rights. An additional goal is to promote an interdisciplinary approach and build bridges between academia and practitioners in these relevant areas."
