 Recently, the targeting of Khamenei was presented as having eroded an international norm against assassination, raising the question of which norm against assassination the authors had in mind. Under positive international law, however, no general norm prohibits the killing of State leaders – understood here as the traditional troika of heads of State, heads of government, and ministers for foreign affairs – although different rules and regimes may afford special protection to such leaders in certain circumstances.
