This issue of the Israel Law Review comprises three parts. The bulk of the issue is devoted to a collection of articles resulting from the international conference entitled “Human Rights and Justice in Immigration: National and International Perspectives,” held by the Minerva Center for Human Rights at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in May 2009. The conference was the culmination of the work of an interdisciplinary research group, which had been working together at the Minerva Center since early 2007, and it was held with the cooperation of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung and the Hebrew University's Bruce W. Wayne Chair of International Law.
