| Abstract: | First paragraph: The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation)(Scotland) Act 2024 (2024 Act) commenced in July 2024. The culmination of decades of work by children, young people, NGOs, elected officials and academics, the 2024 Act incorporates the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Scots law with the intention of ensuring a “maximalist approach” to direct legal incorporation by giving “international law direct effect in national law” while ensuring justiciability. The 2024 Act requires that Acts of the Scottish Parliament must, so far as it is possible to do so, be read and given effect in a way which is compatible with the UNCRC (s. 24(1)). |
