An international consensus has begun to take shape around that idea that the cross-border use of armed forces by states is morally permissible if such force is required to stop or prevent human-right abuses amounting to asupreme humanitarian emergency. At the same time, it is widely believed that the poltical assassination is a form of murder and so morally impermissible in principle, regardless of the ends for which it is done. In this article, we reject these views. We argue that armed intervention is morally permissible when (1) the target state is illegitimate and (2) the risk to human rights is not disproportiation to the rights violations that one can reasonably except to avert. Moreover, onece one accepts that such intervention is sometimes permissible, it becomes untenable to hold that political assassination is impermissible in principle.
