This book examines the normative debates around the American use of targeted killings. It questions whether the Obama administration's defense of its use of targeted killings is cohesive or hypocritical. In doing so, the book departs from the disciplinary purpose of international law, constitutional law and the just war tradition and instead examines discipline-specific defenses of targeted killings to identify their requisite normative principles in order to compare these norms across disciplines.
