These may contain clauses that assist citizens to live and work, study, or commence trading in a member country that best suits them; improving the mobility of human and capital.

In addition, since these pacts remove trade barriers, they allow the consumers access to a multitude of products cheaply thus an increase in their bargaining power. Another permissive impact of this human rights measure is the centrality of individual freedoms and enhanced economic self-realization.
