Section 1.10. This is laudable. But should we be muddying the waters by referring here to the UNDHR, when the ECHR is incorporated into the Constitution in the next article? It seems to me important to be certain which human rights provisions apply in Scotland.
Section 1.10. I agree. I'd question also the bit about "the interests of national requirements", because international law surely takes precedence over national laws, or requirements, (or convenience?).
Section 1.10. Residency will be made available to immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers in accordance with the National interest and Section 14 of the UNDHR.
