A summary execution is a
type of
extrajudicial punishment in which an accused or reported suspect of criminal activity is
killed, often at the time and place of their being discovered. Summary executions may be a tactic employed by parties involved in
guerrilla warfare and
counterinsurgency tactics.Because some summary executions occur without any meaningful
inquiry or
investigation, they are often considered illegal, and therefore acts of
murder. They may, in rare cases, be more acceptable under extreme circumstances, such as in a
war zone, or a similar context of profound instability where the criminal
justice system is non-functioning, or otherwise too overwhelmed to deal with a widescale breakdown in
government.
