Correction for YJHR Issue i, Fall 2009


The pullquote on page 14 ("New Solutions or New Problems" by Justin Petrillo) is an excerpt mistakenly taken from the previous article ("The United States and Human Rights: Still Only Halfway There" by Jordan Laris Cohen). The editors apologize for the error and any confusion this may have caused our readers.

Happy One Month Anniversary!

















by Sarika Arya

About one month ago, the Yale Journal of Human Rights blog was born. While I crafted its first piece (FAQ: The Yale Journal of Human Rights), Oscar Pocasangre handled the web design, and through word of mouth, emails, and a lot of persistence we expanded our audience and recruited more contributors. Now, through a massive group effort – far beyond just Oscar and me – the blog has combined creative elements with academia and politics, making it a legitimate and engaging forum for human rights discussion not just for Yale students but for all sorts of people around the world -- college students, professors, human rights experts, former politicians and government officials, and even a national organization in Egypt have all sent us their best wishes and encouragement. Congratulations to all our contributors! We are in a truly happy relationship with our little web space that is making a lot of noise; so happy one month anniversary, baby, and happy reading to our followers!

Although the blog is still in its beginnings, here are some interesting facts after just one month:

407 different people have visited this blog 1,625 times.

The average time spent on the website is 3 minutes and 57 seconds.

Unsurprisingly, though interestingly enough, our map shows 0 visits from China; however, we know people have accessed the blog from China through a proxy server based out of the U.S.

In order from greatest to least visits, the countries that most frequent this site are: the United States, Egypt, the United Kingdom, Peru, Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territories, El Salvador, Denmark, Germany, France, and Canada.

On average, 60.93% of the visits we receive everyday are from new readers.


Aw shucks, this is just great.


A very special thanks to: Oscar Pocasangre (our resident web designer and Internet mastermind) Max & the Timothy Dwight Blogspot, and Meredith Morrison for getting the ball rolling and maxing out on the publicity work.
