> No they are not. They earned the right to kill drug lords and junkies through democracy. Nuremberg Trials, and thus the international community, said otherwise. Being given the green light or the order to commit crimes against humanity by your government doesn't mean it's right or absolvable. Regarding crimes against humanity >Unlike war crimes, crimes against humanity can be committed during peace or war. They are not isolated or sporadic events, but are part either of a government policy (although the perpetrators need not identify themselves with this policy) or of a wide practice of atrocities tolerated or condoned by a government or a de facto authority. Murder, massacres, dehumanization, extermination, human experimentation, extrajudicial punishments, death squads, forced disappearances, military use of children, kidnappings, unjust imprisonment, slavery, cannibalism, torture, rape, and political or racial repression may reach the threshold of crimes against humanity if they are part of a widespread or systematic practice.
