Regional Trade Agreements, Human Rights, Rule of Law – Miami, FL
| February 26, 2011 |
The University of Miami Inter-American Law Review The Human Element: The Impact of Regional Trade Agreements on Human Rights and the Rule of Law Feb. 26, 2011.
This year’s symposium will focus on Regional Trade Agreements and their impact on the Rule of Law and Human Rights in Latin America. The topic will focus on the impact of these trade agreements on the people of Latin America from their population to their rulers. Trade agreements have begun to affect the Rule of Law by providing a neutral forum to hold those in power, and otherwise unaccountable to the laws of their country, accountable to foreign nations. The agreements have served to elevate the Rule of Law beyond the Rule of Man in some cases in these Latin American Countries. However, trade agreements have had mixed results with their impact on human rights. They have a large impact on labor and environmental rights, as well as an economic impact based on these provisions, yet these are not always a positive impact.
