United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024

The Act incorporates the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Scots law.

The UNCRC is an international treaty that defines children’s civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights.

By placing these rights into domestic law, the Act strengthens legal protections for children in Scotland and helps promote their overall health, wellbeing, and development.
