Question
What lessons has the Welsh Government learnt from progress on delivering the Programme for Government commitment to incorporate the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women within Welsh law?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
Delivering this Programme for Government commitment has underlined that incorporating international human rights treaties within our reserved-powers devolution settlement is complex. Proposals must be legally sound, practical for devolved services and capable of withstanding scrutiny. Careful preparation and investing in expert analysis – as we are doing - are essential to advancing durable, enforceable protections for people in Wales.
