Abstract

The author states that in the framework of integrating states the realization of human rights is more probable particularly in the aspect of the rights of foreigners as there is no doubt in positive results of the integration. Only united can the states provide their population with an access to a maximum number of rights and freedoms. This statement is illustrated on the example of integration in Latin America.The author not only describes the history of integration of LatinAmerican countries in the field of human rights but also provides with the comparison of integration in Latin America and Europe. The influence of the example of the latter is strong in Latin America though integration processes started there earlier than in Europe. Further on the author enumerates and describes official documents and treaties related to the issue of integration.Regional international organizations such as MERCOSUR also play an important role in the process and are analyzed in the article. On par with the existing ones there are ideas of forming new regional organizations which will be active not only in the economic sphere but will also enhance collaboration in the sphere of human rights. But the author also mentions the existing problems in the process of integration in Latin America which are hard to cope with. Though these hardships cannot stop the on-going process of integration.
