33 Neth. Q. Hum. Rts. 3 (2015)

handle is hein.journals/nethqur48 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL In this first issue of 2015, the Executive Board looks back at another successful year of the Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights. In 2014 more articles than ever were submitted for publication. In total, we received over 150 manuscripts, of which we published 12 articles in the Quarterly's four issues in 2014. As such, the Quarterly remains a highly competitive journal with a publication rate of approximately eight per cent, which enables us to select only the best articles. The influx of articles has led us to further streamline the review process, although we remain cognizant that authors always prefer a decision on their article yesterday rather than tomorrow. Importantly, we would like to extend our gratitude to the work of the wider Editorial Board and other reviewers, who have taken time and care to assess articles submitted to them. Without their work, and the confidence that both prospective authors and readers put in our publication, the Quarterly would not stand where it does today. The Executive Board is also pleased to note that the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights (SIM) human rights database is now being updated and hosted online by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights available at: http://juris.ohchr.org/. The SIM database was developed over many years by the documentation team at Utrecht University including Saskia Bal, Maaike Hogenkamp and the human rights specialist Ineke Boerefijn. The NQHR Board is also grateful to Maaike for supporting the Quarterly and producing the New Documentation section published in each edition, outlining important new publications in the field of human rights. This section will now be prepared in 2015 by the Utrecht University Library. The new UN database provides easy access to a single source containing the jurisprudence of the UN treaty bodies that receive and consider individual complaints, including: the Human Rights Committee; the Committee against Torture; the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women; the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination; the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; the Committee on Enforced Disappearances; the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; and the Committee on the Rights of the Child. SIM is pleased to see this resource continue to provide crucial human rights jurisprudence to practitioners, scholars and individuals around the world.
