NIHRC and ECNI Annual Report on the Implementation of Article 2 of the Windsor Framework 2024

The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission (NIHRC) and the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland (ECNI) launched their 2023-24 Annual Report on the Implementation of Article 2 of the Windsor Framework.

The report outlines the Commissions’ views on the Government’s compliance with Article 2 and makes recommendations to ensure the continued protection and enhancement of human rights and equality standards in Northern Ireland.

Article 2 of the Windsor Framework provides legal protections that certain equality and human rights in Northern Ireland are not reduced after Brexit.

The report highlights key developments over the past year, including significant court judgments that have confirmed the Commissions’ analysis and clarified the scope of the UK Government's commitment to non-diminution of rights under Article 2.

It also includes the Commissions’ research findings which provide a strong basis for recommendations to government.
