Abstract
The Utrecht Law Review is an open-access peer-reviewed journal which aims to offer an international academic platform for cross-border legal research. In the first place, this concerns research in which the boundaries of the classic branches of the law (private law, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, European and public international law) are crossed and connections are made between these areas of the law, amongst others from a comparative law perspective. In addition, the journal welcomes research in which classic law is brought face to face with not strictly legal disciplines such as philosophy, economics, political sciences and public administration science.The journal was established in 2005 and is affiliated to the Utrecht University School of Law.

Summary
This special issue of the Utrecht Law Review contains the reworked and extended versions of the papers which were presented at an expert seminar held at Utrecht University in November 2009. Faculty from various disciplines and schools collaborate in multidisciplinary research into fifteen themes, ranging from drug innovation, the foundations of the natural sciences and infection and immunity to coordinating social change and the origin and impact of institutions.[1] One of the fifteen research clusters is called Conflicts and Human Rights Under this umbrella, faculty from the disciplines of philosophy, law, anthropology, history and conflict studies work together on a series of important issues which deeply impact peace, stability and human rights in Western and non-Western societies. A small team of scholars, mainly from the law school, with expertise in human rights law, gender studies, legal anthropology, the sociology of law, legal theory and philosophy, examines a set of multicultural issues which have recently provoked controversy and debate inside and outside the legal community in Western societies By studying these issues from a multidisciplinary and comparative perspective, the team aims to contribute to a better understanding of these issues and to point to possible solutions. We will reflect on the ways in which human rights law can or could play a role once a multicultural issue has been framed in its terms
