Exactly, and if it doesn’t work there’s already art.16, which is specifically designed to be used in this type of situations.

See THAT’S why the protocol “is not working” and they now want to drag NI back into the Brexit damage zone

@@ciaranbrk The UK will never rejoin the EU. The agreement with the EU is not an international law, it is an agreement written into law by all involved that does not make it an international law. In that trade agreement as in most trade agreements there are clauses that say that any dispute has to be negotiated in good faith by both party's and this the EU has refused to do therefore the EU is in breach of the agreement. According to international law any trade agreement can be terminated legally if one party acts in bad faith.

Let's be clear, this is breaking international law. You can dress it up as "necessity" but it subverts the agreement and put the TCA in jeopardy. To clarify that implication, we know that Brexit deal cost us about 4% GDP annually, a no deal would increase that to 10%.

Brexit is not compatible with the GFA, indeed the SM and Customs Union made the GFA possible.

Well, as long as Ireland is part of the EU, you can have an open border between Ireland and NI, or you can can have an open border between NI and the rest of the UK, but you can’t have both. Not without having an open border between the UK and the EU, which I presume defeats the purpose of this whole mess. So unless he is secretly planning to annex Ireland, it would behoove the PM not to sell the voters impossible things that can not exist for reasons of simple geography.
Oh dear you are one very deluded individual. There has been an open border and travel arrangements long before the EU existed and there will be one long after the EU has faded into a long distant odious memory.
@Christina Evans the tories literally talked about causing a famine in ireland by breaking trade to drag ireland out of the EU as well. somehow. I don't know how they make this up.
You talk as if the UK is the only side playing chicken here. The UK can choose to not enforce a border, east-west or north-south. Then it is for the EU to decide whether they want to force Ireland to enforce a border with the north. None of this resolves the original border problem and it appears to defeat the objective of Brexit, but we'd be much further along as a sovereign nation than if we capitulated to remainers. Also none of this is guaranteed because parliament is a nest of snakes and weasels.
Well said, Simon Coveney. Furthermore, after Johnson's government stood an election on the basis of his "deal", they should stand on another if they now wish to change it.
Not a big deal to Johnson, he has told much bigger lies than this and reneged on so many other agreements. Of course it might look like more of a big deal to the EU and to other potential trade partners thinking of making a deal with the UK.
Haha really, lets just see what the EU do, the UK will not be in breach of any agreement but are in actual fact implementing articles 13 and 16 of the protocol. The whole world knows the EU never stick to a deal and can never be trusted.

Under Criminal law, the concept of "Necessity" is a defense that permits a person to act in a criminal manner when an emergency situation, not of the person's own creation compels the person to act in a criminal manner to avoid greater harm from occurring. The reality is that this necessity (if it is to be believed), is directly the creation of Boris. Secondly, it misses out on the net benefit of the protocol to NI which means that there is no greater harm. This bill in fact inflicts greater harm. Legally, while necessity is a term that is allowable it does not apply because of those 2 reasons. It is used here as a cover. Should it have applied then it would only apply to the minimum needed to alleviate the situation and that does not include removing the ECJ role overseeing EU law and rules. Those are 3 gaping holes in the legal logic. We all know that this is an action for domestic politics. More specifically internal Tory party politics.
The general proposition can be best summarised as follows: "necessity knows no law but makes law." There is nothing to prevent the United Kingdom government or the House of Commons from derogating from a treaty, because the House of Commons is sovereign which means subject to no other or higher authority, or in plain language, Parliament me do as it pleases, Moreover it is a Cardinal principle of the sovereignty of Parliament that one Parliament cannot bind another, or rather a preceding Parliament cannot bind a subsequent Parliament

Why the borders on goods? Why are the EU creating a border between the Irelands? Why can't the EU then create a border between themselves and Africa and Asia to stop so many people entering Europe illegally?
@@ULYSSES-31 The border issue is just the tip of the iceberg for the problems that the UK has caused itself by leaving the EU. The Brexiteers have no idea how much grief is coming their way. For them Brexit is waving a flag about and declaring sovereignty (that they never lost) but just wait until the wolves in the wider world get their teeth into the UK.
@Charles White I agree on one point with you, Ireland is in the same situation than Cyprus. It is unrealistic to have 2 governments on these isalnds. They are doomed to re-unite in the future. Funny the NI people do not realise it.
A lot of people talking about article 16, from what I have read that could be challenged by uk courts, if successfully challenged in a uk court there would be no domestic unilateral approach moving forward so it is not a route they would be willing to go down.
All that is necessary is a one line bill in Parliament stating that the relevant agreement is of no effect, and there is nothing that the courts can do about that because the courts have no power over Parliament which as the recent Supreme Court decision makes clear is sovereign, which is to say that Parliament can do as it pleases, including abrogating or amending treaties.
@@vhawk1951kl I'm not a barrister or anything but if the courts come to a judgement that this bill brakes international law I'm not sure what would happen, I guess its more the optics of it. The worrying thing about your comment is if its the case that essentially means parliament can act like an elected dictator.
@@coylezo Obviously you are no lawyer, but it is a cardinal principle of English law - recently underlined by the supreme court that parliament is sovereign which means that parliament*is* the law and the courts accept that and it follows as the night the day from that that if parliament wants to pas a bill into an act, the courts can do *nothing* about it, so called(and *in_fact* non-existent) international law, notwithstanding, for the childishly simple reason that the unequivocal sovereignty of parliament means that it is subject to*No*-repeat *No* authority whatsoever, as the supreme court made clear when the PM tried to suspend parliament. It is also trite law that one parliament cannot bind another. There neither is nor can be any such thing as " international law because all law stems from sovereigns and the simply is no international sovereign or any body to which many countries will accept has having authority over them, least of all the USA Russia China, ukland or any other sovereign nation. The key thing for you to grasp is that sovereign means subject to *no* repeat*no* authority and what nation that had not been defeated would willingly submit to the *any*other authority, mostly because those foolish enough to go in for democracy regard the electorate as sovereign, and what electorate that was not composed of docile weaklings would willingly surrender that unless it had been defeated in war? So *No* international law for want of any international sovereign and sovereigns are only sovereign because the have the power to *impose* their authority which in so-called 'real life' comes out of the barrel of a gun and what do you imagine could effectively threaten or impose its will on all of the countries of the world including the usual suspects? To ask that question is to answer it, is it not? If you tried going to the high court or above seeking to enjoin(get an injunction against or seek to restrain) parliament, your application would be immediately struck out by the court of its own motion and any judge failing to do that would immediately find himself at the business end of a weapon wielded by one of HM soldiery and all the judges I know and I know many, really would not fancy that one bit it, or in plain language they know which side their bread is buttered. Parliament also likes to call itself the high court of parliament (which puts it above *all* courts without exception) so parliament really *is* a 16' tall gorilla with a submachine gun-it sits anywhere it jolly pleases(if you know that joke question) Can the courts enjoin or otherwise control parliament? There is not a judge in the land that would not tell you in short and no uncertain terms, the answer to that. Clear now? There is simply*No* doubt whatsoever about that. Would*You argue with a 26'tall gorilla with a submachine gun? So there is your answer. A rather decent and jolly chap by the names of Charles- the first of that name once tried to dissolve parliament at the point of several guns and you may have some idea what happened to him. He committed the war crime of *all* war crimes; he *lost* a war. You take my point? Sure there are tribunals established by treaty such as the wWTO,but the generally have all the teeth of a dead sheep, and appeals to what is called " the rule of law" tend to fall on deaf ears of rulers scared witless of the ruled. You saw how members of congress very nearly wet themselves when a few irate Americans got a bit excited, and a certain George III tried bleating about the rule of law to Americans and you probably know how far that got him. Not once, not twice but *Three* times what is fancifully called "the people" of ukland voted for secession from the EU, do you really suppose that they have all magically changed their minds? - and Boris is their man, so he has a fairly large gun, to say nothing of a majority in the house of commons. Our Boris also knows full well what all but the witless know and that is that most of those that voted for secession are not wildly fond of aliens and the more obviously they are alien , the less fond they are of them, the religion modernism and its cognates or synonyms of sin notwithstanding. Vile though the lower classes may be they do all of the work and they are not timid, so it is best not to cross them.

Three points. Any attempt by the Tories to unilaterally change the content of the agreement signed with the EU breaks internationally agreed on treaty protocols. Second, the Tories have not broken international law until they actually bring this into force on the UK side. Third, In the treaty, written with international agreed treaty protocols in mind any change of national laws to undermine the content of any international treaty is illegal.

Well, as long as Ireland is part of the EU, you can have an open border between Ireland and NI, or you can can have an open border between NI and the rest of the UK, but you can’t have both. Not without having an open border between the UK and the EU, which I presume defeats the purpose of this whole mess. So unless he is secretly planning to annex Ireland, it would behoove the PM not to sell the voters impossible things that can not exist for reasons of simple geography.
He will move the army to NI for exercises. Then he will invade Ireland and liberate it from neo nazis and nationalists.
Oh dear you are one very deluded individual. There has been an open border and travel arrangements long before the EU existed and there will be one long after the EU has faded into a long distant odious memory.
It’s Europe that wants a hard border between north and south. They’ve been threatening that the whole time. Not the uk. Who’s the problem again?
@Christina Evans the tories literally talked about causing a famine in ireland by breaking trade to drag ireland out of the EU as well. somehow. I don't know how they make this up.
You talk as if the UK is the only side playing chicken here. The UK can choose to not enforce a border, east-west or north-south. Then it is for the EU to decide whether they want to force Ireland to enforce a border with the north. None of this resolves the original border problem and it appears to defeat the objective of Brexit, but we'd be much further along as a sovereign nation than if we capitulated to remainers. Also none of this is guaranteed because parliament is a nest of snakes and weasels.

There are two options for a customs border for Northern Ireland: the Irish Sea, or something which violates the Good Friday Agreement. The US is guarantor of that agreement. Boris is pushing for the UK to have US economic sanctions placed against them.

Wrong on both notions. The UK operated with a border with the EU for quite awhile when it was not a member of the EEA. The US has NO say on the Good Friday agreement, its an agreement with London and Ireland and the NI assembly on power sharing inside the NI border.

@@justonecornetto80 It will have to. The EU has no patience for Britain left, and why would it? There's endless posturing and Little England grandstanding coming from Westminster, and has been for years, followed by ignoring agreements etc.

The EU has no reason to humour Britain any longer, and isn't that fussed about supporting Ireland any more, so it'll snap the ledgers shut and give Britain all the paperwork and punitive legislation it's been jockeying to get. Britain will find EU trade dramatically harder, while other trading partners will be watching Britain to see how it honours its agreements, or not - and if not, as a dishonourable partner, who will want to make deals with her, or at what cost?
@@justonecornetto80 there is really something wrong in the UK that so many people believing Boris Johnson when he is talking rubbish to the Media.

@@vhawk1951kl Ultimately the people in Ireland will decide. British imperial revanchism is the delusion of a aged and decrepit mindset, not 21st century realities.
Under Criminal law, the concept of "Necessity" is a defense that permits a person to act in a criminal manner when an emergency situation, not of the person's own creation compels the person to act in a criminal manner to avoid greater harm from occurring.
The reality is that this necessity (if it is to be believed), is directly the creation of Boris. Secondly, it misses out on the net benefit of the protocol to NI which means that there is no greater harm. This bill in fact inflicts greater harm.
Legally, while necessity is a term that is allowable it does not apply because of those 2 reasons. It is used here as a cover. Should it have applied then it would only apply to the minimum needed to alleviate the situation and that does not include removing the ECJ role overseeing EU law and rules.
Those are 3 gaping holes in the legal logic.
We all know that this is an action for domestic politics. More specifically internal Tory party politics.
The general proposition can be best summarised as follows: "necessity knows no law but makes law."
There is nothing to prevent the United Kingdom government or the House of Commons from derogating from a treaty, because the House of Commons is sovereign which means subject to no other or higher authority, or in plain language, Parliament me do as it pleases, Moreover it is a Cardinal principle of the sovereignty of Parliament that one Parliament cannot bind another, or rather a preceding Parliament cannot bind a subsequent Parliament
@@vhawk1951kl If you are stepping away from a Treaty, then you step away. However, this is a demand to change the UK's obligation and still demand from the EU to stand to it's own obligation.
There is International Law, you can decide to follow it, ignore it or break it. However, international law does exist. It is at it's basic level a set of norms between nations, but it is more than that as it is the fundamental base for all international organizations from NATO to WHO to UN. The enforcement of international law is done by the other participants. Their controls may be sanctions, financial punishments and/or even war.

At that point, I encourage ROI to give a passport to the NI inhabitants that want it, including a relocation package inside EU. When UK and NI are going to lose inhabitants and business that are paying taxes and participate to the GDP, the politicians are going to reconsider their position.

A lot of people talking about article 16, from what I have read that could be challenged by uk courts, if successfully challenged in a uk court there would be no domestic unilateral approach moving forward so it is not a route they would be willing to go down.
All that is necessary is a one line bill in Parliament stating that the relevant agreement is of no effect, and there is nothing that the courts can do about that because the courts have no power over Parliament which as the recent Supreme Court decision makes clear is sovereign, which is to say that Parliament can do as it pleases, including abrogating or amending treaties.
@@vhawk1951kl I'm not a barrister or anything but if the courts come to a judgement that this bill brakes international law I'm not sure what would happen, I guess its more the optics of it. The worrying thing about your comment is if its the case that essentially means parliament can act like an elected dictator.
@@coylezo Obviously you are no lawyer, but it is a cardinal principle of English law - recently underlined by the supreme court that parliament is sovereign which means that parliament*is* the law and the courts accept that and it follows as the night the day from that that if parliament wants to pas a bill into an act, the courts can do *nothing* about it, so called(and *in_fact* non-existent) international law, notwithstanding, for the childishly simple reason that the unequivocal sovereignty of parliament means that it is subject to*No*-repeat *No* authority whatsoever, as the supreme court made clear when the PM tried to suspend parliament. It is also trite law that one parliament cannot bind another.
There neither is nor can be any such thing as " international law because all law stems from sovereigns and the simply is no international sovereign or any body to which many countries will accept has having authority over them, least of all the USA Russia China, ukland or any other sovereign nation.
The key thing for you to grasp is that sovereign means subject to *no* repeat*no* authority and what nation that had not been defeated would willingly submit to the *any*other authority, mostly because those foolish enough to go in for democracy regard the electorate as sovereign, and what electorate that was not composed of docile weaklings would willingly surrender that unless it had been defeated in war?
So *No* international law for want of any international sovereign and sovereigns are only sovereign because the have the power to *impose* their authority which in so-called 'real life' comes out of the barrel of a gun and what do you imagine could effectively threaten or impose its will on all of the countries of the world including the usual suspects?
To ask that question is to answer it, is it not?
If you tried going to the high court or above seeking to enjoin(get an injunction against or seek to restrain) parliament, your application would be immediately struck out by the court of its own motion and any judge failing to do that would immediately find himself at the business end of a weapon wielded by one of HM soldiery and all the judges I know and I know many, really would not fancy that one bit it, or in plain language they know which side their bread is buttered. Parliament also likes to call itself the high court of parliament (which puts it above *all* courts without exception) so parliament really *is* a 16' tall gorilla with a submachine gun-it sits anywhere it jolly pleases(if you know that joke question)
Can the courts enjoin or otherwise control parliament? There is not a judge in the land that would not tell you in short and no uncertain terms, the answer to that.
Clear now? There is simply*No* doubt whatsoever about that.
Would*You argue with a 26'tall gorilla with a submachine gun?
So there is your answer. A rather decent and jolly chap by the names of Charles- the first of that name once tried to dissolve parliament at the point of several guns and you may have some idea what happened to him. He committed the war crime of *all* war crimes; he *lost* a war.
You take my point? Sure there are tribunals established by treaty such as the wWTO,but the generally have all the teeth of a dead sheep, and appeals to what is called " the rule of law" tend to fall on deaf ears of rulers scared witless of the ruled. You saw how members of congress very nearly wet themselves when a few irate Americans got a bit excited, and a certain George III tried bleating about the rule of law to Americans and you probably know how far that got him.
Not once, not twice but *Three* times what is fancifully called "the people" of ukland voted for secession from the EU, do you really suppose that they have all magically changed their minds? - and Boris is their man, so he has a fairly large gun, to say nothing of a majority in the house of commons.
Our Boris also knows full well what all but the witless know and that is that most of those that voted for secession are not wildly fond of aliens and the more obviously they are alien , the less fond they are of them, the religion modernism and its cognates or synonyms of sin notwithstanding.
Vile though the lower classes may be they do all of the work and they are not timid, so it is best not to cross them.
If in any doubt, suck up to them like mad and forget all that religious morality/ethics bunk.
@@vhawk1951kl ah ok so it is a "democratic" dictatorship in the end then. Truly we live in a world were elected officials can say screw you to (if you would rather i put it) international conventions without the people's approval, screw you to the future trust of the nation and screw you to the people who lent us the power, we just pander to you anyway, no matter the moral and ethical implementations. And we think we have come so far yet this is were we are.
So much for the golden future, I can't even start
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
If you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing
You doing to me now
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Anger is a mechanical reaction without any merit whatsoever
I always thought that the British had a sense for humour!
Nope only the English version.....
A black day to be British.
PS - for all Brexit idiots - International Law has already settled this situation; a domestic law of one party cannot set aside an International Treaty. That would take agreement from both Parties (Vienna Convention on Treaties).
@@petergaskin1811 I guess Boris Johnson was an enigma.
Sarcasm is the lowest point of wit and therefore so sorry for attacking English sense of humour!
@Christina Evans poor poor little girl, did somebody steal your dum-dum.... hire have this one from me...💩
when you realise that the house of lords is much more sensible and the only thing between rationality and absolute power
@Charles White Just a remembering that Hitler and Salazar were both elected. The first by normal elections and the second by a referendum.
You can democratically vote out democracy. That's why there is allways something tecnocratic in any democracy for self preservation.
Dont underestimade the stupidity of the electorate.
@@Duck-wc9de "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep discussing what to have for dinner." -Stalin. Or as I like to think _'democracy is someone being gang raped, or lynched, or being hacked up by a cartel'_ - just because a majority want something does not make it right.
Everything he touches catches fire.
I'm just a simple older person on Disability Allowance living in the Republic - Brexit has impacted the Republic severely. Tesco rarely has own brand products, Amazon is not in the Republic, Amazon UK suppliers are withdrawing from supplying to us, and Amazon in France, Holland and Germany are levying harsh delivery rates to the Republic. I am now paying near to 50% more for my purchases monthly overall - groceries and other sundries. Brexit sucks and the EU has let the Republic down badly.
Ha! So England, Scotland and Wales out of the EU.. Northern Ireland, kind of, but not really.. Not quite 'getting brexit done' then
Done and dusted... But floor is still sticking to shoes. Too much parties ?🥳
Since the United Kingdom has seceding from the EU as a matter of fact and law, brexit or the adult term secession has been achieved or if you will "done"
So true, why deal with Boris or give him help. Not only can't you trust him he wont be here next year
Why might he not be Prime Minister in 2023? - He has until 2024 before he must face an election so you will just have to save your breath to cool your porridge until then
What is wrong with Boris? Drama after drama each and every day
Boris is trying to save "Big Dog" by using "The dead cat strategy" also know as "deadcatting".
Treaty signed by this government to deliver policy of this government not in Queen's speech but rushed through
Three points. Any attempt by the Tories to unilaterally change the content of the agreement signed with the EU breaks internationally agreed on treaty protocols. Second, the Tories have not broken international law until they actually bring this into force on the UK side. Third, In the treaty, written with international agreed treaty protocols in mind any change of national laws to undermine the content of any international treaty is illegal.
