Extra-judicial killing

-

 


The term "extra-judicial killing" describes the execution of a person by the government or one of its agents without a court order or other legal process. This implies that the victim is slain without a fair trial, legal explanation, or due process. Extrajudicial killings can take many different forms, including forced disappearances, summary executions, and extrajudicial executions. Human rights and the rule of law are violated by these unlawful acts. They are frequently conducted in the name of upholding law and order or combating terrorism by security personnel or law enforcement agencies. When someone is killed by government agents without a court ruling or hearing, this is known as extrajudicial killing. It is also referred to as encounter killing or extralegal killing in India

When a government executes a citizen without consulting a judge, it is known as an extrajudicial killing. We provide studies of this phenomenon, which is being extensively debated in the context of international politics that are the first of their sort. The theoretical framework put forth here emphasizes the significance of two pillars: violent disputes and an independent judiciary. Our theory is supported by ordered logistic regression models and GEE time-series cross-sectional studies using data spanning 146 nations between 1981 and 2004. Additionally, the studies juxtapose extrajudicial executions as a political phenomenon with other phenomena that are frequently included in empirical analyses or even linked to each other. Among them are political disappearances and political imprisonment. We discover that extrajudicial executions are distinct in several ways.

Numerous incidents that occurred on the Indian subcontinent in the past have contributed to the condition of carnage that exists now.
Additional prehistoric Hindu texts shed light on the prehistoric Indian criminal justice system. Torture is necessary to prevent crime and preserve social order. The Indian emperors used torture as part of their antiquated system to uncover the truth and put an end to misdeeds

Present The Indian police still use torture and humiliation as forms of interrogation, even though the country's judicial system is based on the idea that a person is innocent until and unless proven guilty. In India, encounter killings are not defined by law.


Under international human rights legislation, extrajudicial executions are prohibited. They are also frequently linked to violations of human rights, autocratic governments, or breakdowns in the rule of law. They violate two of the most important human rights: the right to life and the right to due process.

International organizations and human rights groups work to identify and denounce extrajudicial killings, support victims' rights to justice, and encourage accountability for those who commit them.

what is infanticide?   The intentional killing of a very young kid (less than a year old) is known as infanticide.it was a common practice in the past and in many countries, accepted by various cultures worldwide. Even though it is now regarded as a morally repugnant act, it is nevertheless carried out. Certain cultures do not view children as human beings until specific rituals are completed, such as haircuts or name-giving ceremonies. After those rituals are performed, infanticide is rare, but killing a child before them is not considered homicide.   Because these deaths are typically classified as stillbirths or as situations when the kid is simply not documented at the civil registry after delivery, infanticide is typically difficult to report. Infanticide, whether direct or indirect: Inadequate nourishment, neglect, or negligent parenting are the first steps in indirect or passive infanticide, particularly when the child is ill. There may not always be a discernible ...

human sacrifice in modern day

  A group of experts claim to have discovered "a darker link between religion and the evolution of modern hierarchical societies" than has previously been proposed. They also claim that ritual human sacrifice helped maintain inherited class structures after they were formed and encouraged stratified social systems.  The researchers discovered that ritualised human sacrifice was significantly more common in extremely divided cultures than it was in equal ones after analysing dozens of societies. "Human offering may have been co-opted by elites as a divinely authorised means of social command,"  pointing out the high degree of overlap between religious and political sectors in the countries. The list of methods for carrying out the sacrifices reads: "burning, drowning, strangulation, bludgeoning, burial, being crushed under a newly built canoe, being cut to pieces, as well as being rolled off the roof of a house and then decapitated." The findings are, acc...
