Abstract: The use of indicators in international law and global governance has recently developed as a basis for evaluation, decision-making and conceptual and methodological legitimation. This study will analyse the use of different measurement devices constructed at the international level. It will consider the assessment of the state of human security as a case study, placing a particular focus on the relationship of ‘narrow’ and ‘broad’ views of human security to all human rights: civil, political, economic, social and cultural, and incorporating the aggravated human security risks encountered globally by women and girls. As a result, the text presents a proposal of a more holistic and operational measurement of human security based on a gendered and human rights based-approach.Keywords: indicators, international law, global governance, human security, human rights.Resumen: El uso de indicadores en el derecho internacional y la gobernanza global ha crecido recientemente como base para la evaluación, la toma de decisiones y la legitimación conceptual y metodológica. Este estudio analizará el uso de diferentes dispositivos de medición construidos a nivel internacional. Considerará la evaluación del estado de la seguridad humana como un estudio de caso, prestando especial atención a la relación de la seguridad humana, en su concepción ‘estrecha’ y ‘amplia’, con todos los derechos humanos: civiles, políticos, económicos, sociales y culturales, e incorporando la perspectiva de los riesgos agravados de seguridad humana que enfrentan las mujeres y las niñas a nivel global. Como resultado, el texto presenta una propuesta de medición de la seguridad humana más integral y operativa basada en un enfoque de género y de derechos humanos.Palabras clave: indicadores, derecho internacional, gobernanza global, seguridad humana, derechos humanos.
