Existing international law is capable to govern the "war on terror"
also in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. The standards
generally applicable to targeted killings are those of human rights
law. Force may be used in order to address immediate threats,
preventive killings are permitted under strict preconditions but
targeted killings are prohibited. In the context of armed
conflicts, these standards are complemented by international
humanitarian law as lex specialis. Civilians may only be targeted
while directly taking part in hostilities and posing a threat to
the adversary. Also in Israel and the Occupied Territory, these
standards apply. Contrary to the Israeli Supreme Court's view,
international humanitarian law is not complemented by human rights
law, but human rights law is - to some degree - complemented by
international humanitarian law. According to these standards, many
killings which would be legal according to the Israeli Supreme
Court violate international law.
