MUSSO, José Antonio. Some considerations on human rights and Mercosur. Relac. int. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.57, pp.155-169. ISSN 2314-2766.

The presence of human rights as a fundamental axis of the Mercosur integration process is increasingly noticeable and significant. Added to the creation of specific institutional spaces, such as the Meeting of the High Authorities in Human Rights of Mercosur and the Institute of Public Policies in Human Rights of Mercosur, are various other instruments, including some regarding the environment, which make up a framework that allows progress towards the consolidation of the social dimension of the process and the progressive construction of Mercosur citizenship. However, certain obstacles can be observed on the way to the objectives that have yet to be achieved.
