Summary: In the turn of the millennium, different areas of the global society are deeply challenging the international Law. Indeed, today with new factors altering the spatial, structural and regulatory dimension of state and humans relations, at the domestic and at the international levels, the international order remains in its crisis of identity. On the one hand, the predominance of liberal and non-formalistic systems increases the distance between power, law and justice, while on the other hand, multilevel action is encouraged and transparency and accountability are promoted. Within the framework of the United Nations, while the topic of the Rule of Law has been proposed to mark the course of these changes and to limit the new sovereign powers or action forums, there is no consensus either on its scope or on its legal status. Rather, it is conceived as a «civilizing test» under certain structural principles or values: certainty, predictability, transparency, accountability and respect for international humanitarian law and human rights. In order to test such a purpose, it is proposed as a field of study that stabilization operations –and their changing basic principles– should not only be in accordance with the principles of the Rule of Law, but also contribute to their implementation in the countries or regions where they operate.
