IDEEN & ARGUMENTE KILLING TERRORISTS - ANNA G...

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.
