article 2 is now into its eighth year. Initially, it was envisaged as a bimonthly publication complementing Human Rights SOLIDARITY, and about the same size: around 32 pages per edition.
However, it quickly evolved into something much bigger, and has over time become the host of many sizeable and groundbreaking reports on significant human rights and rule of law issues in Asia, including most recently, ‘Burma, political psychosis & legal dementia’ (vol. 6, no. 5-6, October-December 2007). A number of these special editions and reports have exceeded a hundred pages in length.
For this reason, the Asian Legal Resource Centre has decided to publish article 2 quarterly. Each edition will continue to take the same concentrated and original approach to a key human rights issue or country in Asia as has come to characterise the publication. But by reverting to four editions per year we envisage being able to release even larger and more in-depth studies.
The first edition of article 2 as a quarterly is a focus on the prosecution system—an integral but often overlooked element in the protecting of human rights—in five countries around Asia: Cambodia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.
Comments and submissions from readers are, as always, welcomed.
