Definition

How can assassination be described as "people calling it an extra-judicial killing that lacks due process". Assassination is by any definition illegal, it isn't exactly an extreme interpretation to describe it as "extra-judiacial", in fact that is a euphemism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talkcontribs) 07:01, 12 June 2012‎

"or military motives"

"or military motives": This should be removed, because it is not correct as it is against international law (perfidy):

“treacherous attempts upon the life of an enemy; as for example by keeping assassins in pay”

IHL by ICRC

Treacherous attempt upon the life of an enemy The Lieber Code provides that “the common law of war allows even capital punishment for clandestine or treacherous attempts to injure an enemy, because they are so dangerous, and it is difficult to guard against them”. The Brussels Declaration prohibits “murder by treachery of individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army” and the Oxford Manual prohibits the making of “treacherous attempts upon the life of an enemy; as for example by keeping assassins in pay”. Under the Hague Regulations, it is prohibited “to kill or wound treacherously individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army”. The use of the term “individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army” clearly covers civilians as well as combatants.

The examples such as given in the section "As military and foreign policy doctrine" are either not military but political: assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, and Vietnam on both sides). In the case of Isoroku Yamamoto and Rommel killing enemy military commanders who is in arms, by members of the armed forces, and not paid assassins, is not assassination: Richard III was not assassinated at the Battle of Bosworth.

I suggest that "or military motives" is removed. -- PBS (talk) 18:32, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

I suggest that military motives is a right way of dealing with the situation,if military does not take any actions trators will continue ruining the mission of uplifting the country because of “fame" Ts he po phakama (talk) 07:46, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
