The Commission has submitted evidence to the HumanRights Inquiry by the European and External Relations Committee of the Scottish Parliament.
The Commission provided its views on the proposed repeal of the HumanRights Act 1998 and its replacement with a British Bill of Rights.
The SHRC has the power to start legal proceedings in its own name where we consider that a public authority has unlawfully failed to comply with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (“UNCRC”). The UNCRC has been incorporated into the Scottish domestic legal system by the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 (“UNCRC Act”). The UNCRC Act makes the rights of children part... the Commission only has this power in relation to the rights contained in the UNCRC Act.
