Abstract
Because most customary international law develops through acquiescence, state silence has played an important role in legal discussions on a changing right to self-defence. Zooming into the role silence plays in such debates, this article puts forward an epistemological critique of legal knowledge production in which silence becomes a pawn of an implicitly political debate.
