silence procedure |

A device of consensus decision-making in multilateral diplomacy, the rule that a proposal with strong support is deemed to have been agreed unless any party raises an objection to it before a specified deadline. In other words, silence signifies assent - or at least acquiescence. It may be used either as in effect a form of ratification by governments when their permanent missions have already reached a consensus, or as a form of pressure on the reluctant minority when they have not. The silence procedure, so-called, is employed in bodies such as NATO, the European Union (for example in the framework of its Common Foreign and Security Policy via COREU), and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. |
