- W99184492 abstract "INTRODUCTION On 18 November 2008, nearly two decades after ratification of United Nations Convention on Rights of Child (UNCRC), United Kingdom withdrew its general reservation on immigration matters. The reservation had permitted UK to derogate from UNCRC rights and obligations in relation to legislation concerning immigration and nationality matters. As noted by Drew and Nastic, withdrawal of reservation was due to persistence of children's charities, rather than UK government relaxing its concerns about compromising immigration control. (1) Section 55 of Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 (BCIA 2009) came into force on 2 November 2009. It imposed upon Secretary of State, in discharging her immigration functions, a statutory duty to [have] regard to need to safeguard and promote welfare of children who are in United Kingdom. (2) This duty applies when making immigration, asylum or nationality decisions which affect children. (3) This article will analyse impact of section 55 BCIA 2009 on development of UK immigration law, considering a selection of domestic case law and Strasbourg jurisprudence, preceding and subsequent to enforcement of section 55. It will also consider extent to which overhaul of UK family immigration law of 9 July 2012 is compatible with section 55 duty. (4) Article 3(1) of UNCRC states: In all actions concerning children, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institutions, courts of law, administrative authorities or legislative bodies, best interests of shall be a primary consideration. (5) Yet prior to UK withdrawing its reservation to UNCRC on immigration matters and section 55 BCIA 2009 coming into force, there was little reference to UNCRC in domestic immigration case law. Children were often treated an appendage to their parents rather than rights-bearers in themselves, deserving of special individual attention. For many years, Secretary of State and courts accorded less weight to family relationships formed during an applicant's precarious immigration status, applying this reasoning not just to relationships between adults (Abdulaziz, Cabales and Balkandali v UK (6)), but also where children were involved (Mahmood v SSHD (7)). Where a child's parent faced removal or deportation, courts held that best interests of should not be given paramountcy or primacy. Rather, a balancing exercise should weigh interests of all parties against interests of immigration policy, in which the scales start even with no preferences being given to interests of child (Gangadeen and Khan (8)). Children who had resided in UK from birth for a number of years, including those with a British parent, were expected to follow their non-British parent abroad, or remain in UK, separated from them. Children were defined by their status migrants, with no attention paid to their rights children. Where children were detained, courts had accepted that Article 5 of European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) (9), right to liberty and security, must be read in light of Articles 3 and 37(b) UNCRC, which states that detention should be used only as a measure of last resort and for shortest appropriate period of time. (10) Detention would be unlawful if an immigration officer failed to have regard to UNCRC (ID v SSHD). (11) In R (S, C and D) v SSHD Wyn Williams J held that UK's reservation to UNCRC (which reserved right to apply legislation on immigration matters where it was deemed necessary), did not extend to permitting legislation relating to administrative detention which contravened provisions of UNCRC. (12) Nonetheless, he found that Secretary of State's detention policy was compatible with the general thrust of UNCRC. …" @default.
