The UK has a proud record of complying with its international obligations, and of the promotion and defence of human rights across the world.

The Government is firmly committed to Article 2 of the Protocol which ensures no diminution of rights, safeguards and equality of opportunity protections set out in the relevant chapter of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement.
