Abstract

In Latin America, the materialization of labor human rights faces serious obstacles stemming from global capitalism. In this way, this research examines MERCOSUR in the context of the incorporation of labor and migration issues in the regional integration of Latin America, especially given the significant presence of Venezuelan migrant workers in the Brazilian State of Roraima living in subhuman conditions. This situation is not only a humanitarian crisis, but has deeper roots in MERCOSUR's integrationist project, which neglected in the last decades the implementation of a more solid regional social and labor integration of rights in the bloc despite the wide legal protection of labor in the global system of human rights protection. Moreover, this situation today presents itself as a paradox, since it has obstacles of several orders (social, economic, political, etc.) that should have been outlined in the mercosurist regional integration of the 21st century.
