How many types of executions are recognized in this context?

One
Two
Three
Four

The correct answer is: Three

In the context of executions, there are three recognized types: judicial, extrajudicial, and summary executions. Judicial executions occur as a result of a legal process, where an individual is sentenced to death following a trial. Extrajudicial executions happen without legal process or due process, often carried out by state actors outside of the law. Summary executions are often associated with immediate actions taken by authority figures or combatants in conflict situations, resulting in a fast-tracked death sentence without trial or legal proceedings. This classification is important for understanding legal frameworks and the implications of each type during discussions of human rights, rule of law, and the criminal justice system. Understanding the distinctions between these types helps inform policies and debates surrounding capital punishment and extralegal actions taken by authorities.
