“…This is why there is a perceived tension between autonomy and accountability. 97 Accountability implies that international organisations as international law actors are subject to certain standards of behaviour, 98 and sanctions if they fail to comply with them; 99 after all, the organisation's will is separate from its members' but not completely 'free', it can only be directed towards the specific objectives and functions determined by the founders in its constitutive instrument. 'International responsibility' represents the legal expression of accountability that follows from the principle that 'any breach of an engagement involves an obligation to make reparation'.…”

“…The lack of a precise legal connotation is evident in the fact that an equivalent expression cannot be found in other languages, inter alia, French, Spanish, Italian and German. 98 However, in Anglo-Saxon legal language the word 'accountability' is used frequently to attach a kind of politico-legal responsibility to NSAs, or more accurately, their duty to make account in the ambit of a global political forum for violating chiefl y rules which, though legally nonbinding, still have a defi nite legal relevance, i.e. soft law.…”

In the current era of political globalization, States maintain their traditional role of protagonist in the international (human rights) system. At the same time, however, they are expected to devise instruments that will maximise their ability to adapt to the needs of an effective protection of human rights due to the 'present-day conditions.' Indeed, if one pauses to refl ect on the increasing diversity of international actors and consider 'international law in her infi nite variety,' the question is whether the international human rights regime of today is in fact different today from that of previous eras. In pondering the interplay between international (global) politics and international human rights law, the article suggests -in terms of challenges -a reconsideration of State (positive) obligations pursuant to the nature circulaire of international human rights protection.Key words: globalisation, human rights, law, protection ResumenEn la era actual de globalización política, los Gobiernos mantienen su función tradicional de protagonistas en el sistema internacional (de derechos humanos). Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, se espera que conciban instrumentos que potencien al máximo su capacidad para adaptarse a las necesidades de una protección efectiva de los derechos humanos debido a las «condiciones actuales.» En verdad, si uno se para a refl exionar acerca de la cada vez mayor diversidad de actores internacionales y a considerar «la ley internacional en su variedad infi nita», la cuestión es si el régimen internacional de derechos humanos de hoy en día es en realidad diferente hoy del de épocas anteriores. Al considerar la interacción entre la política (global) internacional y la ley internacional de derechos humanos, el artículo propone -en términos de desafíos-una reconsideración de las obligaciones (positivas) del Gobierno de conformidad con la naturaleza circular de la protección internacional de los derechos humanos.
