Abstract
The Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement of 1998 is a Peace Treaty. The Agreement included a mandate and mechanism for national human rights institutions in Northern Ireland and Ireland—a Joint Committee—to ensure strong cooperation between them. However, the Agreement assumed the UK's and Ireland's continuing membership of the European Union and when this changed following the referendum in 2016, the work of the Joint Committee was put into sharp focus. This article chronicles the collaboration of two institutions working in distinct legal and political jurisdictions in the context of the negotiations of the EU Exit and what was achieved and learned as a result.
