1)  Name and brief description of the proposed decision Decision' means:

an Assembly proposition

an amendment (or further amendment) to a proposition

for Ministerial duty-bearers, policy under development

Proposed amendment to the Draft Treaties (Jersey) Law 202- (the "Amendment"). The purpose of the Amendment is to remove Article 5 of the Draft Treaties (Jersey) Law 202- pertaining to law enforcement treaties.

It is considered that this Amendment does not have a direct or indirect impact upon children and that the obligation to have due regard to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child does not therefore arise. Nor does the Amendment.

2)  Which groups of children and young people are likely to be affected?

Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children

No children are affected.

3)  What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights?

Impacts may be positive or negative, direct or indirect

Include whether different groups of children will be affected differently by the decision

There is no impact on children as they are not affected by the provisions of the Amendment.

4)  Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required?

If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion

No – a full CRIA is not deemed required.
