Due to the expansion of Global Governance, international administrative and regulatory bodies have gained prominent competences in the processes of decision making and rule making in the international legal system. In this sense, while many scholars would still argue that administration practices is restricted to States, this view is currently incompatible with the growth of international regulatory regimes, in which Non-State bodies, such as the WTO, the IMF, the OECD and the World Bank have obtained significant roles. This phenomenon, along with active roles of Non-State Actors in the international scenario, has led to the questioning of the "traditional sources" of international law. This Article aims reassess these traditional sources, and to analyse how Non-State Actors can be included in Global Governance. This growing tendency, however, is accompanied by a lack of accountability in global structures, as well as the absence of a democratic underpinning to make international decisions legitimate. For this reason, practical tools, such as the establishment of Global Administrative Law mechanisms, will be presented as a possible solution to develop a new approach to International Law.
