| Summary, etc |
This article interrogates whether extra-judicial killings can ever be justified as state policy, situating the debate within the framework of constitutional democracy and human rights. Extra-judicial killings—executions carried out without due process—pose fundamental challenges to the rule of law, judicial oversight, and democratic accountability. The Common Cause journal, a policy-oriented publication established in 1982, has consistently highlighted issues of governance, justice, and institutional integrity. The discussion emphasizes that while states may justify such actions in the name of security or expediency, they undermine the legitimacy of democratic institutions and erode public trust. By analyzing legal provisions, judicial pronouncements, and policy debates, the paper underscores that extra-judicial killings cannot be institutionalized as state policy without violating constitutional principles and international human rights norms.
