The problem and principles of applying targeted assassinations in fighting terrorism
Martin JANKŮ
The article deals with the issue of targeted killings (assassinations) and its exploitation in the "war on terror" and counter-terrorism policy in general. For the purpose of the analysis, targeted killings are viewed in three dimensions and consequences – legal, moral (ethical) and efficiency. Although this tactic and its usage are very controversial, particular analysis from the perspective of these three dimensions might be helpful not only to consider targeted killing as a legitimate instrument to fight terrorism, but simultaneously all specific conditions resulting from these dimensions (most prominently the legal one) have to be satisfied.
