eg:

tree=# create table a ( a1 integer not null, a2 integer not null);
CREATE TABLE
tree=# create unique index a_idx on a(a1,a2);
CREATE INDEX
tree=# \d a
Table "public.a"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
a1 | integer | not null
a2 | integer | not null
Indexes: a_idx unique btree (a1, a2)

tree=# insert into a values (1,2);
INSERT 43341961 1
tree=# insert into a values (1,3);
INSERT 43341962 1
tree=# insert into a values (1,2);
ERROR: Cannot insert a duplicate key into unique index a_idx
