          Abstract

          Two principal methods for creating international rules have evolved over the last centuries: treaties and custom. Although, the rapidly growing world community has raised a new challenge: the need to reach agreement regarding issues of common interest, inter alia, human rights. In the current scenario, not only the interaction of states is relevant to the process of formation of international law, but also the interrelation of international organizations. These latter actors have brought to the forefront a new instrument to reflect general consensus, namely, the so-called 'soft law'. Even though 'soft law' is not catalogued as a traditional source of international law, the author displays the rationale underpinning its increasing relevance in the human rights field.

          Translated abstract

          Durante los últimos siglos, los tratados y la costumbre se han constituido en las dos principales fuentes del derecho internacional. Sin embargo, la rápida expansión de la comunidad internacional ha planteado un nuevo desafío: la necesidad de realizar acuerdos sobre temas de interés común, tales como los derechos humanos. En el escenario actual, no solamente la interacción entre Estados es relevante en el proceso de formación del derecho internacional, sino que también lo es la interrelación de las organizaciones internacionales. Estas organizaciones han puesto en primer plano un nuevo instrumento para reflejar el consenso general: el derecho no vinculante o "derecho blando". Aunque tal derecho no es considerado una fuente tradicional del derecho internacional, la autora expone los principales fundamentos que sustentan su creciente relevancia en el Derecho internacional.
