On Monday, March 7, Amos Guiora, Professor of Law at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, was quoted in a San Francisco Chronicle article by columnist Phil Bronstein, “How to kill Libya’s Khadafy legally: as a colonel.”
Guiora explained “The law doesn’t allow the killing of political leaders, but it does allow targeting of commanders on the other side. If it’s articulated that he’s a military leader (not a political one), he’s fair game in international law.”
