Targeted Killing - A Legal and Political History (Hardcover)

Looking beyond the events of the second intifada and 9/11, this
book reveals how targeted killing is intimately embedded in both
Israeli and US statecraft, and in the problematic relationship
between sovereign authority and lawful violence underpinning the
modern state system. It details the legal and political issues
raised in targeted killing as it has emerged in practice, including
questions of domestic constitutional authority, the use of force in
international law, the law of belligerent occupation, the law of
targeting and human rights law. The distinctive nature of Israeli
and US targeted killing is analysed in terms of the compulsion of
legality characteristic of the liberal constitutional state, a
compulsion that demands the ability to distinguish between legal
'targeted killing' and extra-legal 'political assassination'. The
effect is a highly legalized framework for the extraterritorial
killing of designated terrorists that may significantly affect the
international law of force.
