The progressive withdrawal of the state from the role of “economic agent” has had an impact upon its function of regulator. Therefore, norms production was transferred to international and national bodies favouring more non-binding normative settings (soft law) and self-regulation. This is clearly the case of the normative framework applying to technologies. As a result, the relationship between the international legal order and national legal order bears significant modifications, and fundamental rights of citizens may also be affected within democracies based on the rule of Law.
