This monograph offers the first systematic overview of the
protection of human rights in trade agreements in the Americas.
Traditionally, trade agreements in the Americas were concerned with
economic questions and paid little attention to human rights.
However, in the wake of the 'new regionalism', which emerged at the
end of the last century, more clauses addressing social issues such
as labour rights and environmental standards were inserted in trade
agreements. As economic integration increased, a framework for the
protection of human rights evolved. This book argues that this
framework allows for human rights protection on a transnational
level, while constructing regional identities. Looking at the four
key regional integration processes, namely the Caribbean Community,
the Central American Integration System, the Andean Community of
Nations and the Southern Common Market, and also at the North
American Free Trade Agreement, it shows how the integration process
has reached a considerable degree of consolidation. Writing on key
sources in English for the first time, this book will be essential
reading for all free trade and human rights scholars.
