Abstract :
 

The subject of my doctoral thesis focuses on the different legal institutions established by the South American integration processes - the Andean Community, MERCOSUR and UNASUR - in order to ensure accordance with the law in the application of their treaties. Beyond a simple comparative study, the objective of the thesis is above all to develop an analysis of the role of the different “Community” judges (the Andean Tribunal of Justice, the MERCOSUR Permanent Review Tribunal and the UNASUR Regional Arbitration Center currently being created) at the heart of the respective integration processes, as well as comparing the processes to Europe's experience with the European Court of Justice as an embodiment of a legal system of integration and the development of an EU standard.
