Abstract
Editorial Our inspiration for this special issue relates to the significance of human rights as fundamental to justice, fairness, the wellbeing of citizens and the functioning of systems in Faroese society. In particular, the implication of studying human rights involves the protection of vulnerable groups in society. Our aim with this special issue is to analyse human rights and generate knowledge which can help promote awareness and education, justice, accountability and lead to necessary policies or legal reforms. However, all normative deliberations on human rights are contested and bound to trigger disagreement, because the struggle to realise human rights relates to fundamental ethical, cultural and religious questions without universal agreement: What is a just society? What is a good life in dignity? What is the responsibility of the state vis-à-vis the individual? And what are the boundaries between human rights and human obligations?
