Barnet som rättighetsbärare: Migration och integration i Tidöavtalet.

In the fall of 2022, the political parties that later came to form the Swedish government with the support of the Sweden Democrats came together in an agreement for the mandate period 2022--2026 called Tidö Agreement: Contract for Sweden. In this article, we examine how the proposals on migration and integration presented in the agreement are consistent with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child's starting points regarding children as holders of rights, and with the conventions four general principles. Based on WPR strategy, we ask questions about what is defined as a problem in a specific policy and on which assumptions this definition is based, as well as what is left out. In our analysis, we place special focus on the general principle of the best interests of the child, and we reason about the implications the proposals may have for children and their families in groups that are defined as problematic in the Tidö Agreement. We also offer alternative definitions and solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
