Abstract
Climate change regime is formed to ameliorate the impacts of anthropocentric activities over the environment. The structure of the regime is formed by multilateral international agreements that reproduce a colonial logic in which metanarratives are used to cast the shadow of domination thru the language of international law. In this study the metanarratives are challenged by feminist theory that provides the dialectic tools to expose the attempt to perpetuate the colonial ruling thru law. The empirical dimension of the study is conducted using the content analysis to identify the subtext and context underlying the text of international law, being such task conducted using a computer assisted qualitative data analysis software (CADQAS) called ATLAS.ti.
Highlights
International regimes are formed to mediate the relationship between the distribution of power and the anarchical structure of the international system
It is an attempt to provide an explanation through the lens of the Feminist Theory (FT) in International Law (IL) of the current paradox in this important international regime: while international community recognizes the urgency of acting for human survival, the climate change regime faces a disconcerting apathy due to the inaction of the countries

Summary
International regimes are formed to mediate the relationship between the distribution of power and the anarchical structure of the international system In this sense, the formation of international institutions in the twentieth century occurs under a scenario marked by the rule of colonialism and imperialism. The central argument of this paper is built on the climate change regime case study that identifies the “moral grammar” of institutions in discriminating against women. Tence, and solidarity, all concepts that play an important role in FT in the struggle for marginalization10 This task will be conducted using a computer assisted qualitative data analysis software (CADQAS) called ATLAS.ti. The investigation procedure will consider procedures of content analysis of the chosen official documents to identify the moral grammar of gender oppression as one of the axes of a larger context of imperial power. The challenge is to find in such documents the antagonist language to hope, creativity, resilience, persis-
