Abstract
[Resumen] El hecho de que las leyes internacionales se caractericen por la falta de un
sistema unificado de sanciones y de unas autoridades centrales encargadas de su
ejecución, ciertamente debilita el carácter normativo de las obligaciones internacionales
en el ámbito de los derechos humanos. Tras una breve descripción de los problemas
teóricos y prácticos relativos al cumplimiento de las leyes internacionales, este artículo
se centra en los retos contemporáneos con que se encuentran los mecanismos internacionales en el ámbito de los derechos humanos. Se dice que a pesar de la falta de
aplicación centralizada, las últimas décadas han sido testigos de la intensificación y
diversificación de los procedimientos de cumplimiento. Sin embargo, la brecha
persistente entre el compromiso y el cumplimiento real pone en duda la eficacia de los
organismos internacionales de derechos humanos. El artículo analiza las debilidades de
la ejecución de las decisiones de los tribunales de derechos humanos, en particular a
nivel universal y en el sistema regional europeo. Se argumenta que a pesar de los
esfuerzos para fortalecer la supervisión internacional, todos los tribunales
internacionales de derechos humanos se basan en la aplicación nacional. Por tanto, el
cumplimiento depende en última instancia de la voluntad política de los Estados. A
pesar de la relativa fortaleza del mecanismo de supervisión en el ámbito de los derechos
humanos, el cumplimiento ha seguido siendo una cuestión interna
[Abstract] The fact that international law is characterized by the lack of unified system of sanctions and central enforcement authorities certainly weakens the normative character of international human rights obligations as well. After a brief description of the theoretical and practical problems relating to compliance with international law, this paper focuses on the contemporary challenges the international human rights mechanisms are confronted with. It is argued that in spite of the lack of centralized enforcement, the last decades witnessed the intensification and diversification of compliance procedures. Nevertheless, the persistent gap between commitment and actual compliance calls into question the efficacy of international human rights bodies. The paper analyses the weaknesses of the execution of the decisions of human rights tribunals, notably at universal level and in the European regional system. It is argued that despite the efforts to strengthen international supervision, all international human rights tribunals rely on national implementation. Thus, compliance ultimately depends on the political will of the States. Despite the relative strength of the oversight mechanism in the field of human rights, compliance has remained a domestic issue
