(c) To consider all child-related legislation as a priority in the Parliament. UPR Recommendation: Ensure that all national legislation currently in force relating to children is in conformity with the Convention on the Rights of the Child guaranteeing that the principles and provisions of that Convention and its protocols are applicable to every child in its territory (Uruguay).

The Government Report states that:25 Mechanisms are in place to assess whether new legislation is consistent with the Convention. Cabinet papers seeking approval to introduce a Bill must advise whether the Bill complies with relevant international standards and obligations. Bills must have a disclosure statement attached explaining steps taken to determine consistency with New Zealand’s international obligations. 53. While the Commission accepts that these requirements exist, in practice the Government’s assessment of New Zealand’s international human rights obligations in the development of legislation requires more rigor and transparency. 54. This could potentially be addressed through the development of a Child Rights Impact Assessment (CRIA) process that is systematically applied in the policy development and legislative process.
