Stahn has succeeded in producing an impressive work by constructing a new expressive typology in international criminal law ... and aligning the comprehensive range of expressivist literature in international criminal law with it. In particular, the new typology is suitable for the analysis of other areas of law, which is why it is also recommended reading for interested readers outside the field of international criminal law.
