Along with general trends of economic globalization, there has been an attempt to make certain aspects of law converge, particularly human rights law, democracy and rule of law. These attempts resulted in a plethora of intertwined, interdependent and mutually influential normative systems. But with the new trend of backlash against globalization the domestic sovereign actors of these normative systems now claim independence from them, while the supranational entities are forced to yield and retreat, undermining the foundations upon which they were created. This article describes the characteristics of this set of interconnected normative systems; it then presents the current backlash against globalization and how it poses threats to international human rights as we know them; and it finally describes how recent case-law of the ECtHR can be read as a reaction within this context.
