Can't answer yes or no.:
The Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure 2011 is a piece of legislation that was passed by the Assembly that incorporates the UNCRC indirectly into Welsh law. It requires the Welsh Ministers to have ‘due regard’ to the UNCRC when exercising any of their functions and to make out a scheme for securing compliance with the UNCRC (ss 1 & 2 RCYP2011).
Those provisions thus have much greater potential significance in Wales than they do in England (where there no similar ‘due regard’ obligations in relation to these international law obligations.)
