65.Section 18 allows the CEHR to co-operate with other people or organisations within the United Kingdom and abroad when undertaking its human rights duties as set out in section 9. Section 13 permits the CEHR to co-operate with others in respect of the activities set out in that section; section 18 allows co-operation to extend beyond those activities in relation to human rights. In particular, this will allow the CEHR to co-operate with human rights commissions or commissioners in other parts of the United Kingdom, and to give its opinion to international bodies about the compliance of the United Kingdom with its international human rights obligations.
