Abstract: The current Mercosur international dispute settlement mechanism has been frequently criticized on the grounds that it is underutilized, having handled few contentious cases between 1999 and 2012, and there have been criticisms about the quality of the decisions rendered and their contribution to the strengthening or discrediting of Mercosur. This research will seek, through the comparative method, using quantitative and qualitative analyses, to consider the jurisdictional activity of Mercosur in relation to other Latin American international dispute settlement mechanisms and the Caribbean system, as well as the litigiousness of the countries that are part of these integration systems in multilateral dispute settlement systems.

Keywords : Mercosur; International Dispute Resolution; Interstate Conflicts.
