The State always has a duty to protect its citizens from all forms of harm including lawless violence and terrorist acts. This duty must at all times be undertaken in accordance with established rules of engagement; due process and rule of law guarantees; and International Humanitarian Law (IHL) principles. IHL requires States to use only regular armed forces under strict military discipline thus this strictly prohibits death squads under all circumstances.
