The current statutory guidance separates the guiding principles from the concept of evolving capacities risking underappreciation of their interconnectedness and key role in underpinning all rights in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). This paper outlines the interconnectedness of human rights, discusses the limitations of the guiding principles and emphasises the importance of considering evolving capacities for every right in the UNCRC. It highlights that evolving capacities as an enabling principle requires state parties to engage with the concept in various ways.

The quality of life lived is placed at short and longer term risk by pollution. In Scotland today, whilst industrial, domestic, agricultural, natural and transboundary pollution are all parts of the mix, pollution from transport is the single biggest source of concern. Tackling all sources requires concerted and systemic action. Thu, 01 Aug 2019 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/1893/30416 2019-08-01T00:00:00Z
