Regional economic arrangements, that have been gaining momentum since the end of the Cold War, have been increasingly incorporating human rights matters in their agenda. Therefore, an ontological investigation of the real relations between human rights and economic integration, using argumentative exercise and data collected from the literature, is required to denaturalize a link that is usually assumed in the level of discourse. This paper investigates, in two steps, the implications of including these agendas in the regional economic communities. The first part deals with the product of economic integration, testing the benefits it can bring to human rights and the degree of certainty about their results. The second part focuses on the integration process, that comprises both, the relations between the economic arrangements and spheres of life, and the choices about human rights that occur in planned or unplanned manners in the inter-level conflicts among legal orders. Its main contributions are to outline the potential of promoting human rights through regional economic communities and to draw attention to the side effects of any integrationist measures on human rights.
