Abstract
This book concerns ‘State silence interpretation’ in international law-making and lawchanging. Its foundational idea is that, owing to the profound developments in the factual backdrop and the major transformations in the framework of international law in the twentieth and twenty-first century, the ‘contexts’ in which State silence may be interpreted today have become complex, and they remain not well understood. This book endeavours to understand them better.
Keywords: State silence, jus cogens, opinio juris, multilateralism, bilateralism, expert treaty bodies, conferences of parties, interpretation, modification, customary international law, International Law Commission
