What are Extra-Judicial Executions (EJEs)?
Extra-Judicial Executions (political killings) are planned executions committed by governments or government-backed agents with a total lack of regard for due process of law and/or judicial procedure as protected in the UDHR. These killings are often the work of regular military and police forces, special units that function without normal supervision and “death squads” that operate while the government looks the other way. The term does not include killings by warring factions.
