By using theories of trade and the effect it can have on a state and its population, articles as well as other agreements are investigated throughout the essay.

However, when studying the document the result of the effort to promote human rights is disappointing. The document refers to another agreement signed between the two actors regarding human rights, not enforcing them the way it was hoped and expected to be.
