| == The Assassination of Joseph Staljin == | |||
| KGB chief Lavrentij Beria feared joseph Staljin's next purge. Like his predecessor KGB/NKVD chief Yezhov who was executed by Staljin, Beria knew he would be next, so he had him poisoned. It’s known that on the night of February the 28 1953, Staljin drank "fruit juice" (diluted Georgian wine). Poison, in the form of the tasteless blood thinner warfarin (rat poison) was slipped in Staljin’s drink and caused stomach and brain hemorrhaging. Doctors were not called for an entire day on purpose to ensure the poison worked and Staljin could not be saved. Eventually a doctor was called to help him but from far away. His death was recorded at 9:50 p.m., ironically exactly to the minute of signing Katyn execution orders of 22000 Polish POWs and Polish Intelligentsia in 1940. Staljin was laid to rest in the Lenin Mausoleum but was reburied in darkness in a simple grave behind Kremlin Wall during night without any fanfare on Halloween 1961, ironically on the eve of All Saints Feast, holiday he banned. Upon Staljin’s death, Beria (also responsible for Katyn Massacre), with his network of spies and contacts, seemed poised to take over. But he fatally underestimated his opponent Khrushchev who eventually took over and executed Beria and 6 of his accomplices for treason on December 23 1953. They were buried in an unknown location, also without any fanfare. | |||

Definition
How can assassination be described as "people calling it an extra-judicial killing that lacks due process". Assassination is by any definition illegal, it isn't exactly an extreme interpretation to describe it as "extra-judiacial", in fact that is a euphemism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk • contribs) 07:01, 12 June 2012
"or military motives"
"or military motives": This should be removed, because it is not correct as it is against international law (perfidy):
“treacherous attempts upon the life of an enemy; as for example by keeping assassins in pay”
Treacherous attempt upon the life of an enemy The Lieber Code provides that “the common law of war allows even capital punishment for clandestine or treacherous attempts to injure an enemy, because they are so dangerous, and it is difficult to guard against them”. The Brussels Declaration prohibits “murder by treachery of individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army” and the Oxford Manual prohibits the making of “treacherous attempts upon the life of an enemy; as for example by keeping assassins in pay”. Under the Hague Regulations, it is prohibited “to kill or wound treacherously individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army”. The use of the term “individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army” clearly covers civilians as well as combatants.
The examples such as given in the section "As military and foreign policy doctrine" are either not military but political: assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, and Vietnam on both sides). In the case of Isoroku Yamamoto and Rommel killing enemy military commanders who is in arms, by members of the armed forces, and not paid assassins, is not assassination: Richard III was not assassinated at the Battle of Bosworth.
I suggest that "or military motives" is removed. -- PBS (talk) 18:32, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
I suggest that military motives is a right way of dealing with the situation,if military does not take any actions trators will continue ruining the mission of uplifting the country because of “fame" Ts he po phakama (talk) 07:46, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
Laws
Shouldn't there be info on the legality, laws or treaties regarding assassinations by governments? Hammerfrog (talk) 12:52, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Amount of casualties
Amount of Tamils murdered are wrong, over 80,000 Tamils were killed whereas only 40,000 Sinhalese were killed. Sinhalese also commited many more war crimes than the Tamil Eelam faction. To anyone saying “Execution of the person who leaked info to the Indian Forces was wrong,” please look at the other discussion called, “or military motives”.
