对新冠肺炎的政策回应表明,儿童和年轻人的人权往往被成年人的关切排挤在外。在苏格兰首次封锁期间(2020年3月),随着越来越多的质疑,苏格兰儿童和青年专员要求苏格兰儿童人权观察组织对新冠肺炎紧急公共卫生措施对苏格兰儿童和青年的影响进行独立的儿童权利影响评估。由此产生的分析不仅对立即进行政策宣传有成效,而且对缔约国在危机和灾难时期如何尊重、保护和实现儿童和青年的人权有更广泛的借鉴意义。这需要对成人的方针和政策取向提出挑战,这样才能满足所有儿童和青年提供、保护和参与的权利,特别是可能特别容易受到侵犯权利的儿童和青年群体。本社论概述了从独立的审评委、从包括儿童和青年在内的一系列专家那里获得的程序和实质性学习。
Policy responses to COVID-19 have illuminated how children and young people’s human rights were all too often side-lined by adult concerns. With mounting queries during the first ‘lockdown’ in Scotland (March 2020), the Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland asked the Observatory of Children’s Human Rights Scotland to undertake an independent Children’s Rights Impact Assessment of COVID-19 emergency public health measures on children and young people in Scotland. The resulting analysis proved not only productive for immediate policy advocacy but had broader lessons about how states parties can respect, protect and fulfil children and young people’s human rights at times of crisis and disaster. This requires challenging adult approaches and orientations to policy, so all of children and young people’s rights to provision, protection and participation are met, especially groups of children and young people who may be at particular risk of rights’ violations. This editorial outlines the process and substantive learning from the independent CRIA, from a range of experts, including children and young people.
