ABSTRACT Created with twelve Members of Children’s Parliament aged 8–14 across Scotland, The Corona Times Journal was established in March 2020 as Scotland entered a national lockdown in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The children were supported to reflect on their experiences of the pandemic in response to themed journal prompts around life at home, health and wellbeing, education and learning, news and information, and the return to schooling. The children’s views captured in The Corona Times Journal significantly informed the Independent Child Rights Impact Assessment (CRIA) carried out by the Observatory for Children's Human Rights on behalf of the Children and Young People’s Commissioner in Scotland on the impact of COVID-19 measures on children’s human rights. This article brings three of the Corona Times journalists together with academics involved in carrying out the Independent CRIA to reflect on the children’s experiences of contributing to The Corona Times Journal and, in turn, playing a key role in informing the development of the Independent CRIA and national decision-making processes. It explores the importance of children’s participation in decision-making during times of crisis when human rights are at most risk of being compromised.
摘要 2020 年 3 月,当苏格兰为应对全球 COVID-19 大流行而进入全国封锁状态时,《科罗娜时代期刊》与苏格兰各地 12 名 8-14 岁的儿童议会成员共同创建。孩子们根据围绕家庭生活、健康和幸福、教育和学习、新闻和信息以及重返校园等主题的日志提示,反思他们在大流行病中的经历。Corona Times 日志》中记录的儿童观点为儿童人权观察站(Observatory for Children's Human Rights)代表苏格兰儿童和青少年事务专员(Children and Young People's Commissioner in Scotland)就 COVID-19 措施对儿童人权的影响所开展的独立儿童权利影响评估(CRIA)提供了重要信息。这篇文章将《科罗娜时报》的三位记者和参与独立 CRIA 的学者聚集在一起,反思儿童为《科罗娜时报》撰稿的经历,以及反过来在为制定独立 CRIA 和国家决策过程提供信息方面发挥的关键作用。本报告探讨了儿童在人权最有可能受到损害的危机时期参与决策的重要性。

ABSTRACT
Science permeates almost every aspect of society, yet the human right to science remains neglected. In 2020, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights published its General Comment No. 25, intended to interpret the abstract provisions of Article 15 ICESCR. As a non-binding treaty body pronouncement, the General Comment’s reception and impact depend on its normative legitimacy – the extent to which its reasoning is coherent, determinative, transparent, systemically consistent, and adheres to international law methodologies, particularly those set out in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. This article evaluates the General Comment’s normative legitimacy and practical value by reference to three key interpretations in Article 15: ‘science’, ‘enjoy the benefits’, and ‘participation’. The General Comment, it concludes, does not represent a comprehensive interpretation, but should be seen as opening a door to state practice and, therefore, more detailed interpretation by the Committee, States parties, and domestic and international courts. Despite purporting to innovate, the Committee’s approach generally builds on pre-existing conceptualisations, further increasing its normative legitimacy. The article concludes that the future impact of the right to science can be greatly enhanced by increased attention by the Committee and by States parties.
