Abstract
If anything, the contributions in this volume provide rich and intriguing perspectives on the myriad of ways in which human rights law functions as a site of struggle over multicultural conflicts. They also leave us with the knowledge that much more scholarly work needs to be done to get to grips with this complex subject. The November 2009 conference was a very inspiring moment in this endeavour and has refreshed and coloured our ‘internal debates’ at the Institute of Legal Theory in Utrecht during the winter. Especially preparing the papers for publication in this special issue made us, the editors, reconsider and reassess our own scientific positions and research. We hope the contributions in the special issue will be as fruitful to any reader interested in multicultural conflicts and human rights as they have been to us. We are confident that the work of the authors will bear fruit and will inspire them and others to pick up new topics and continue their research in this important area.
