Summary/Abstract: In this text, we intent to show that (1) international relations are organized on conflictual foundations, which generate two different possible “public orders”. This situation generates in turn disorder and global governance, in that context, doesn’t allow solving these contradictions (2). Without any mechanism, in that governance context, to make visible and solve that foundational conflict, we will questioned, then, the specific role that play international law (3), with a particular consideration for the role of the Universal Declaration of human rights (UDHR), taking into account the fact that many resistances, these years, are expressed in human rights terms. The issue of the Right to water will be mobilized to illustrate that, in global governance, contentious politics act “at the margins”, using the space made available by international law.
