Abstract
This article deals with the analysis of soft law, in terms of its conceptualization, its characteristics, and its situation about public international law, to determine its role as a source of international law. It incorporates references to comparative constitutional regulation, such as the cases of Mexico, Argentina, and Spain, as well as to the role of custom as a source of public international law. It concludes the work with well-founded recommendations regarding the inconvenience of including soft law in a constitutional text.
