Overview of the Act
Part 1 and the Schedule: the Uncrc Requirements
Section 2: Meaning of references to States Parties and related expressions in the UNCRC requirements
9.The UNCRC requirements refer throughout to States Parties. The purpose of section 2 is to allow such references to be read generally as including references to public authorities under the Act. There are also certain places in the UNCRC requirements where a reference to States Parties, to a State Party or to a related expression like “jurisdiction” or “territory” needs to be read as something different to make sense in the domestic context, so the table in subsection (3) provides for those references to be read with modifications to achieve that effect.
10.In relation to article 2 of the Convention as set out in the UNCRC requirements, the table also contains a modification so that the reference in that article to States Parties is read as a reference to a more restricted class of public authority, for reasons of legislative competence.
