In her seminar, Dr McCall-Smith will examine the future of increasing human rights protections in the devolved nations of the UK in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Incorporation Reference decision of October 2021. Firstly, the presentation will consider the entrenchment of human rights standards through incorporation as a means for implementation of international human rights law. Secondly, the seminar will consider Scotland’s path to incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, juxtaposing the incorporation bill’s key features against the Incorporation Reference decision. Finally, the presenter will reflect upon the prospects for incorporation of human rights in the UK’s devolved nations, discussing, in light of the Supreme Court’s decision, the value of incorporation and other measures to respect, protect, and fulfil human rights.
Kasey McCall-Smith is a Senior Lecturer in Public International Law at the University of Edinburgh
