Article has been sufficiently expanded within the requisite timeframe. It is long enough, and neutrally written. I cannot detect any copyvios. All content is appropriately cited. QPQ is complete. Hooks look good. I would strongly prefer ALT1 or ALT2, as the original hook seems jargonish to me. I might suggest incorporating the "even if the crimes hadn't taken place" into a hook, but that's up to you. Two other suggestions; one, the lead is a bit short; and two, I'm wondering if the license in question is appropriate; a book cover will surely be covered by copyright, and would therefore usually be available for its own article under a NFUR but not otherwise?

Thanks for the review. I've expanded the lead and incorporated your suggestion for ALT1 (For ALT2, the incitement to commit war crimes is currently legal under international law). The book cover is free because the image is the only thing copyrightable and it is released under a free license, while simple text does not rise to the threshold of originality (see Commons:Template:PD-textlogo) b uidhe 04:47, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks; still good to go, for the record, with a slight preference for ALT1; thanks for clarifying the licensing issue. Vanamonde (Talk) 05:33, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
