The term soft law refers to quasi-legal instruments (like recommendations or guidelines) which do not have any legally binding force, or whose binding force is somewhat weaker than the binding force of traditional law. Soft law is often contrasted with hard law.[1] The term soft law initially emerged in the context of international law,[2] although more recently it has been transferred to other branches of domestic law as well.
