Targeted killing of terrorists has become an established practice
in the fight against terrorism. The disturbing consequences of the
practice and its increasing political and societal acceptance raise
questions as to its justifiability and its place in
counter-terrorism. Anna Goppel explores whether targeted killing of
terrorists can be justified, both from a moral and an international
legal perspective. She discusses moral and international legal
limits to state use of lethal force and argues that the moral
principles and the international legal regulations allow for the
practice only in very specific, very rare, and rather hypothetical
cases. The analysis is based on a thorough discussion of the human
right to life, the laws and ethics of war, and the relevant moral
and legal arguments. This makes it of particular interest to
philosophers and legal theorists interested in terrorism,
counter-terrorism, human rights, and the legitimacy of defensive
state measures.
