Abstract
What is the relationship between secrecy and silence in the practice of states, and what place does international law play in managing the interplay between the two concepts? First, I will explain the two concepts and how they differ Second, I will show how in their practice States engage with secrecy and silence. Third, I will argue that a main way in which international law manages the interplay between the practices of secrecy and of silence is through the concept of acquiescence in relation to international law-making.
