Targeted killings represent both the contemporary weapon of choice
and, clearly, the weapon of the future. From the perspective of the
nation-state, the benefits of targeted killing are clear:
aggressive measures against identified targets can be carried out
with minimal, if any, risk to soldiers. But while the threat to
soldiers is minimal, there are other risks that must be considered.
Particularly, there is a high possibility of collateral damage as
well as legitimate concerns regarding how a target is defined.
Clearly broad legal, moral, and operational issues are at stake
when considering targeted killing. In Legitimate Target, A Criteria
Based Approach to Targeted Killing, Amos Guiora proposes that
targeted killing decisions must reflect consideration of four
distinct elements: law, policy, morality, and operational details,
thus ensuring that it complies with principles of domestic and
international laws. The author, writing from both personal
experience and an academic perspective, offers important criticism
and insight into the policy as presently implemented, highlighting
the need for a criteria based decision making process in defining
and identifying a legitimate target. Legitimate Target, A
Criteria-Based Approach to Targeted Killing blends concrete
examples with a nuanced study of the current targeted killing
paradigm with an emphasis on the dilemmas of morality and the law.
