This Brief introduces Picture Human Rights, an initiative which seeks to explain international human rights law concepts through illustration. The inaugural series for this initiative was tax and human rights, based on the author’s interpretations of editors Philip Alston and Nikki Reisch’s 2019 book, Tax, Human Rights, and Inequality. The Brief selects some highlights from this series and explains the relevance of Picture Human Rights to modern human rights practice and advocacy.
