About the Journal

HR-TOC is an international open-access journal dedicated to scholarship on human rights, constitutional governance, criminal legal systems, and transnational criminality.

Mission

The Journal of Human Rights and Transnational Organised Crime (HR-TOC) advances interdisciplinary scholarship on the relationship between human rights, constitutional order, criminal legal systems, international criminal law, transnational criminality, and public policy.

The journal promotes critical dialogue on the legal, institutional, and policy responses required at national, regional, and international levels as organised criminal networks exploit technological innovation, geopolitical instability, global mobility, and institutional vulnerabilities.
