This comprehensive book delves into the recent surge of developments that are paving the way for a significant shift towards a 'domestic institutionalization of human rights.' This transformative trend is driven by converging international trends that advocate for the establishment of domestic institutions to effectively uphold and protect human rights. Recognizing the importance of a comprehensive national human rights systems approach, innovative arrangements have emerged, some of which have been legally enshrined in human rights treaties.

In their introductory chapter, the editors provide a comprehensive overview of these developments, highlighting their main elements and key points of debate. They also outline a research agenda aimed at structuring and generating further attention from both academics and practitioners. As a foundational step, the book emphasizes the purposeful attempt by the United Nations and other international organizations to frame these trends around the concept of 'National Human Rights Systems.'

The subsequent chapters delve into the assessment of various models and cases put forward for such systems. Each chapter explores the specific forms of institutions being promoted and their intended domestic interactions, while also discussing how these institutions are leveraged and strengthened by international bodies. Authors critically examine the implications of these developments for the future of human rights, laying the groundwork for further research and exploration.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Nordic Journal of Human Rights, showcasing the cutting-edge insights and scholarship in this field. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists alike, as it contributes to our understanding of the evolving landscape of human rights and offers valuable insights into the strategies for promoting and protecting human rights at the national and international levels.
