This title examines the international lawfulness of state-sponsored targeted killings in military and police operations. Analysing recent state practice and jurisprudence, it establishes when targeted killing may be considered lawful, and what legal restraints are imposed on the practice in times of war and peace.
Over the past decade, there have been various highly publicized instances of governments intimidating, silencing, and even killing individuals who express dissent toward their regime. Transnational repression refers to these governments' use of threats, intimidation, and violence to prevent dissent in other countries, and extrajudicial killings refers to the execution of someone without due legal process. Both are commonly considered human rights violations, and both pose a serious threat to free expression and speech.

This volume looks at these issues from a wide range of perspectives to help readers understand what transnational repression and extrajudicial killings are and potential solutions to stop them.
