Скачать или смотреть 'Damning inditement of 16 wasted years' by SNP on Rights of the Child Bill

Toward the end of last month, Equalities Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville updated MSPs on The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill.

Scottish Labour's Pam Duncan-Glancy took a swipe at the SNP for '16 wasted years' on its failure to act on its 'self-proclaimed priority' leading to a betrayal of young people and children today.

The Scottish Government has changed its proposition for the incorporation of international children’s rights into Scots law, after the original Bill was ruled to be outside Holyrood’s powers.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill was passed unanimously in 2021, before being found by the UK Supreme Court to legislate outwith the powers of the Scottish Parliament.

Newly-announced changes mean that public authorities will only be required to comply with the UNCRC rules when delivering duties under powers in an act of the Scottish Parliament.
