A trend towards deformalisation has been observed in international law, characterised as the rejection of formal indicators to define international rules, along with a growing emphasis on informal law-making.
The international agreement, created by the process of deformalisation, becomes soft law to the extent that the absence of the totality of these eleents marks not non-law, but a different type of international law, which exists in contrast to a type of international law in which all of these elements are present — hard law.
