In this sense, soft law is initially understood as a manifestation of diverse instruments. For this purpose, it also highlights the importance of the Legal Sociology perspective, starting from the hypothesis that, with citizens largely excluded from decision-making that affects them with a high level of vulnerability, a socio-legal fiction is created. The applied methodology discusses economic, political, and legal globalization, and then delve into an analysis of soft law itself, revealing deductively its most characteristic features. Finally, it is concluded that another means must be found to replace or complement soft law in order to protect the vulnerable groups, given the problems surrounding the fiction of a production of rules disconnected from citizens that claim to be guarantors of justice.
