UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 2 and Discrimination on the Basis of Childhood : The CRC Paradox?
- 2022
-
In: Nordic Journal of International Law. - : Brill. - 0902-7351 .- 1571-8107. ; 91:3, s. 419-452
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The crc as an instrument calls attention to children as a group. Yet paradoxically it has not resulted in explicit consideration of discrimination against children on the basis of childhood (i.e. detrimental treatment for being young/under 18) in the same way that has happened for other groups like women and ethnic minorities in instruments drafted specifically for their rights. Children are more likely to suffer poverty and violence than adults, and under-18s are largely excluded from national legislation prohibiting unfair discrimination. In this article the jurisprudence of the Committee on the Rights of the Child is examined and it is established that even though child-specific discriminatory practices such as corporal punishment are criticised by the Committee, they are seldom labelled ‘discrimination’ as such. The Committee reserves consideration of Article 2, which enshrines the principle of non-discrimination, for traditionally disadvantaged groups of children such as girls and ethnic minorities. It is concluded that Article 2 has great potential for drawing attention to detrimental treatment for being young/under 18, but that the phenomenon must be more explicitly referenced with greater frequency in law, practice, and scholarship.

Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis analyses the principle of the best interests of the child and the right to private and family life in relation to the societal interest of controlling immigration. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to ensuring more predictable and transparent legislation and decision-making.States, generally, have the right to control immigration. At the same time, a child’s right to family and private life is a human right – regulated, for example, by the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, the European Convention on Human Rights and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. This means that states can only restrict these rights when such interference is justified. In migration cases concerning private and family life, an assessment therefore must be made as to whether a decision to refuse residence is proportional. When a child is affected by such a decision, the child's best interests must be carefully assessed and taken into consideration. This thesis examines what is legally required of a correct decision in migration cases concerning a child’s right to private and family life. Particular attention is given to those requirements imposed on lawmakers and legal actors by the public law principles of legality, objectivity and proportionality, as well as the duty to give reasoned decisions. This thesis charts the development and foundations of Swedish migration law including those requirements arising from EU and public international law. The focus thereafter is more specifically on the assessments made balancing the interests of children's rights and immigration control.Whether a restriction of the right to private and family life is proportionate is determined by the specific circumstances in the individual case. However, the research conducted demonstrates that there is a lack of guidance concerning which circumstances Swedish legal actors can and should consider, as well as the weight that should be attributed to the considered circumstances. The interest of immigration control is particularly ambiguous. The thesis identifies four types of circumstances that the Swedish lawmaker appears to suggest legal actors consider within this interest; (a) public order and security, (b) maintenance and enforcement of immigration control, (c) national economic well-being (including number of migrants), and (d) protection of the rights and freedoms of others.Lack of clear guidance is problematic, particularly in light of the principles of legality, objectivity and proportionality, as the outcomes of cases depend on what individual legal actors choose to consider. Vague guidance on what constitutes relevant circumstances may also contribute to the problem of poorly formulated decisions as identified in previous research. In order to increase the probability of legal actors rendering more correct decisions – on the basis of applicable law – a five-step model is presented: (1) identifying private and/or family life (2) identifying the child's best interests (3) identifying the underlying motivations linked to the interest of immigration control (4) listing the arguments for and against granting residence in Sweden and (5) determining which interests should prevail.The thesis concludes with a number of recommendations aimed mainly at lawmakers that could contribute to strengthening children's rights and increasing adherence to the rule of law in migration cases concerning children's right to private and family life.

Incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in National Law
- 2020
-
In: The International Journal of Children's Rights. - : Brill. - 0927-5568 .- 1571-8182. ; 28:1, s. 133-156
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Incorporation is amongst the legislative measures of implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) recommended by the Committee on the Rights of the Child. This article will discuss incorporation of the CRC in national law. It will show how incorporation is understood in different contexts, and highlight possible tensions between child rights and international law discourse and analysis. It begins by reviewing literature on incorporation of human rights treaties before discussing how incorporation is conceptualised in the context of the CRC. The focus then shifts to a review of studies that provide insights into how incorporation and legal integration of the CRC impact on how children's rights are treated in national legal systems. While primarily a commentary on the available literature, the authors reflect on the significance of incorporation and how this is understood for academic and legal analysis, and what the evidence tells us about its contribution to the realisation of children's rights.

When the ends justify the means? : Quality of law-making in times of urgency

-
In: The theory and practice of legislation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 2050-8840 .- 2050-8859. ; 7:2, s. 85-100
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article discusses how arguments related to urgency and crisis affected the quality of the legislative process in relation to three cases of law-making related to the so-called refugee crisis in 2015/2016 in Sweden. It is argued that derogations from the steps of the legislative process based on a feeling of urgency are detrimental for the quality of the specific legislation and, in a long-term perspective, also for the rule of law.

Great Expectations? Some Thoughts on the Impact of Incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child for Asylum-seeking Children in the Nordic Countries
- 2022
-
In: Nordic Journal of International Law. - : Brill Academic Publishers. - 0902-7351 .- 1571-8107. ; 91:1, s. 17-43
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the Nordic countries children’s rights generally hold a particularly high normative status. All Nordic countries except for Denmark have incorporated the key human rights treaty on children, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (the crc), into the domestic legal order, giving the crc status as domestic law. Drawing on wider literature to define a key set of “expectations on incorporation”, the article analyses the extent to which incorporation of the crc in the domestic legal order of four out of five Nordic countries has had an impact on legal developments in the Nordics in the wake of the 2015 “refugee crisis”. It is suggested that in asylum law, where the risk of a conflict of interest between the individual and the State in many ways is obvious, there seems to be significant room for improvement when it comes to the actual impact of the crc.

Innebörden av ”svenskt konventionsåtagande” : svårare att tolka än man tror
- 2020
-
In: Svensk Juristtidning. - 0039-6591. ; , s. 120-136
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Syftet med 2016 års tillfälliga lag om uppehållstillstånd är att inskränka möjligheterna till uppehållstillstånd utan att riskera en tillämpning av skyddsbestämmelser och regler om anhöriginvandring som strider mot Sveriges internationella förpliktelser. För att uppnå detta används svenska konventionsåtaganden som ”ventiler” i vissa av lagens centrala bestämmelser. Lagstiftaren har emellertid inte klargjort vilka internationella förpliktelser som avses. Tolkningen av detta har istället lämnats över till rättstillämparen, vilket väckt frågor både rörande rättstillämpningen i sig och om ansvarsfördelning när det gäller rättsbildningen. I den här artikeln diskuteras begreppet ”svenskt konventionsåtagande” i den tillfälliga lagen och vilka konsekvenser detta sätt att lagstifta kan få.

Much Ado about Nothing? : The Road to the Incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in Sweden
- 2019
-
In: The International Journal of Children's Rights. - : Brill. - 0927-5568 .- 1571-8182. ; 27:2, s. 266-305
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Article 4 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child stipulates that state parties have a positive obligation to implement the necessary legal measures to secure the rights recognised in the Convention. The CRC Committee has stated that incorporation is its preferred method of implementation. In Sweden, the issue of incorporation has been the subject of a lengthy and contentious debate. This article aims to unpack the reasons for this. It is suggested that technical-legal arguments against the incorporation of the CRC are grounded in and intertwined with cultural-legal arguments. While these arguments may be more or less clearly expressed by the various parties in the Swedish debate, I argue that they seem to have played an important role in the process through which this international treaty has been made applicable on the domestic level in Sweden.
