Tales sujetos han ocupado un rol significativo en la evolucion, humanizacion y democratizacion del Derecho Internacional contemporaneo en virtud de haber logrado, entre otros resultados, institucionalizar los metodos de produccion de marcos normativos como convenciones internacionales y sus mecanismos de seguimiento; brindar el foro para las negociaciones y busquedas de consenso en temas de alcance universal o hemisferico; promover en las iniciativas que se ejecutan en su foro el respeto a los derechos humanos y libertades fundamentes, y servir como canal para la adopcion de medidas colectivas ante la ruptura de compromisos internacionales, fungiendo asi como el principal vehiculo para garantizar la coexistencia pacifica de los Estados.

Said approach has been developed to find an alternative solution to a dispute that dates from the time of colonialism and whose solution has not been possible due to significant deficiencies in the arbitration system: the Anglo-Venezuelan boundary dispute over the territory of Guayana Esequiba.
