execution orders
Mandates for killing
Execution orders are directives authorizing someone to carry out a specific action, typically issued by an authority.
In legal contexts, an execution order authorizes enforcement of a court judgment—seizing assets or, in capital cases, carrying out a death sentence.
In military and intelligence operations, execution orders authorize planned missions to proceed: The general issued execution orders for the strike.
