Targeted Killing


Targeted Killing is a scholarly work, published in 2004 in ''Theoretical Inquiries in Law''. The main subjects of the publication include criminology, terrorism, torture in the United States, legitimacy, law and economics, law, object, just war theory, sociology, and political science. The paper argues that if one accepts the moral legitimacy of the large-scale killing of combatants in conventional (what are soon to be called "old-fashioned")wars, one cannot object - on moral grounds - to the targeted killing of terrorists in wars against terror.
