3. “The ECHR commitment is only applicable to devolved bodies”. Wrong. The commitment is to incorporate into “NI law”, including NI law made and administered by UK institutions. (And given that UK institutions were responsible for the concerns, any other result would be bizarre.)

2. “The ECHR commitment is only to have rights ‘like’ the ECHR”. Wrong: there is no basis for saying that the agreement to incorporate “the ECHR” in NI law can be read as meaning “something the UK thinks is a bit like the ECHR”.
