intentional killings
Premeditated taking lives
Intentional killings are deaths caused deliberately rather than by accident, recklessness, or negligence.
The phrase appears in legal contexts, human rights reports, and statistics distinguishing murders and executions from manslaughter or collateral deaths: The report documented intentional killings by security forces.
It encompasses homicide, assassination, and state-sanctioned execution.
