This is welcome. The public conversation thus far has tended to focus on the implications for trade and the economy; the common commitment to avoiding a hard border is also well known, and exhaustively discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision of Belfast-based NGO the Committee on the Administration of Justice (CAJ) to lodge a complaint with the EU Ombudsman has attracted considerable&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rte.ie\/news\/2018\/1009\/1001863-ni_brexit_rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interest<\/a>, and brought a welcome&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rte.ie\/news\/2018\/1009\/1001863-ni_brexit_rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">focus&nbsp;<\/a>on the issue of rights and equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are the concerns?

The problems identified map onto Brexit but also relate to a broader malaise in the law and politics of Northern Ireland, where there is currently no government. That project has extensively documented the issues and proposed solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My intention in this post is to explain what will remain and what might be lost during and after the Brexit process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To continue reading, <a href=\"http:\/\/ukandeu.ac.uk\/still-here-brexit-and-human-rights-in-northern-ireland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">please click here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Article originally appeared on the <a href=\"http:\/\/ukandeu.ac.uk\/still-here-brexit-and-human-rights-in-northern-ireland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UK in a Changing Europe site.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Colin Harvey highlights what will remain and what might be lost in terms of rights and equality during and after the Brexit process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2426,"featured_media":5002,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe"],"mb":[],"acf":{"authors":{"simple_value_formatted":"<ul><li><a class=\"post-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/authors\/colin-harvey\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Colin Harvey<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","value_formatted":[9453],"value":["9453"],"field":{"ID":9774,"key":"field_66d0cbf58f930","label":"Authors","name":"authors","aria-label":"","prefix":"acf","type":"relationship","value":null,"menu_order":1,"instructions":"","required":0,"id":"","class":"","conditional_logic":0,"parent":9772,"wrapper":{"width":"","class":"","id":""},"post_type":["authors"],"post_status":["publish"],"taxonomy":"","filters":["search"],"return_format":"id","min":0,"max":10,"allow_in_bindings":0,"elements":["featured_image"],"bidirectional":0,"bidirectional_target":[],"_name":"authors","_valid":1}},"description":{"simple_value_formatted":"","value_formatted":"","value":"","field":{"ID":9776,"key":"field_66d2183027749","label":"Description","name":"description","aria-label":"","prefix":"acf","type":"wysiwyg","value":null,"menu_order":3,"instructions":"","required":0,"id":"","class":"","conditional_logic":0,"parent":9772,"wrapper":{"width":"","class":"","id":""},"default_value":"","allow_in_bindings":0,"tabs":"all","toolbar":"basic","media_upload":0,"delay":1,"_name":"description","_valid":1}}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/76\/2018\/10\/Peace-Bridge-Derry.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"mfb_rest_fields":["title","jetpack_featured_media_url","jetpack_sharing_enabled","amp_enabled"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2426"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5000\/revisions"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/authors\/9453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/qpol\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
