Targeted Killings

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post about the upcoming counter-terrorism simulation, my professor for that class, Amos Guiora, was on NPR’s Talk of the Nation radio program yesterday morning. The topic was discussing whether the United State’s use of predator drones to strike inside of Yemen and Pakistan are violations of international law. They also discuss how “assassination” is different from “targeted” or “extrajudicial killings.”

This radio program gives an example of just what our class is like. Lots of complex issues, and having to come up with practical answers for those problems.
