soft law
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- El término "ley sin fuerza obligatoria" hace referencia a aquellos instrumentos jurídicos no vinculantes y suele contraponerse a la ley con fuerza obligatoria. A pesar de su naturaleza no vinculante, la ley sin fuerza obligatoria tiene una enorme influencia en la elaboración de las leyes. Por lo general y casi ineluctablemente, la práctica nacional e internacional adoptará estas resoluciones como parámetros que guiarán sus actuaciones. Entonces, de manera progresiva, pueden consolidarse como leyes.
- Le terme « droit flexible » se rapporte aux instruments qui ne sont pas juridiquement contraignants. Il est souvent opposé à la notion de « droit contraignant ». En dépit de son caractère non contraignant, le droit flexible a une influence considérable sur l'élaboration du droit. De manière générale, et quasi-inéluctable, l'orientation des pratiques adoptées au plan national et international est déterminée par ces principes. Un processus de concrétisation se met alors en marche jusqu'à la promulgation de lois contraignantes.
- The term "soft law" refers to non-binding legal instruments. It is often contrasted with "hard law". Although of non-binding nature, soft law has a tremendous influence on the development of the law. Generally and almost ineluctably, domestic and international practice will adopt such resolutions as parameters guiding its actions. Progressively, then a process of hardening into law can take place.
