Brexit border in Ireland

9/11/2020

 
The EU claim the UK is breaching international law by its internal market bill clarifying that there will be no customs barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. However, International Human Rights Conventions, including Article 1 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which all EU members have signed, guarantees all countries
 “the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”
Similarly, the United Nations has long stated that “Any attempt aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and the territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.”
I drew attention to this in an article for Brexit Central at the time the Withdrawal Agreement was first proposed.
