Acts of repetition abound in international law. Security Council
Resolutions typically start by recalling, recollecting, recognising
or reaffirming previous resolutions. Expert committees present
restatements of international law. Students and staff extensively
rehearse fictitious cases in presentations for moot court
competitions. Customary law exists by virtue of repeated behaviour
and restatements about the existence of rules. When sources of
international law are deployed, historically contingent events are
turned into manifestations of pre-given and repeatable categories.
This book studies the workings of repetition across six discourses
and practices in international law. It links acts of repetition to
similar practices in religion, theatre, film and commerce. Building
on the dialectics of repetition as set out by Soren Kierkegaard, it
examines how repetition in international law is used to connect
concrete practices to something that is bound to remain absent,
unspeakable or unimaginable.
