1 ‘Specialized legal systems’ is the term used by the author throughout his book. For that reason I will use the same terminology in this review, even though the term ‘system’ is generally accepted to refer to international law as a whole. The International Law Commission in its Report on Fragmentation uses in this regard the term ‘regime’ or ‘special law’.
