	14 point Program for the Prevention of Extrajudicial Executions
		Extrajudicial executions are fundamental violations of human rights and an affront to the conscience of humanity.
		The prohibition of extrajudicial executions and the essential safeguards for their prevention must not be suspended under any circumstances, including states of war or other public emergency.
		The prohibition of extrajudicial executions should be reflected in the training of all officials involved in the arrest and custody of prisoners and all officials authorized to use lethal force, and in the instructions issued to them.

	THE UNIQUE SPIRIT OF SIKHSIM
		Because the right to life is the basic human right from which all others derive, Kumar felt that the increasing number of extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearances in Punjab was a key indicator of the status of democracy there.
		Everyone knew that these executions and disappearances were becoming a common part of life by the late 1980's, but documented evidence of them was hard to come by.
		It provided evidence of ten cases of disappearance, summary execution, and cremation from the district of Sangrur, at the other end of Punjab, to suggest that the pattern was probably not unique to Amritsar.

		It is, of course, unlawful to execute an accused person without giving him a fair trial first.

	ipedia.com: Thaksin Shinawatra Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Thaksin's government has been unabashedly populist, spending money at popular causes like cheap loans to farmers and subsidized health care.
		Thaksin's 2003 campaign against drug dealers was alleged to amount to the extrajudicial execution of several hundred suspects, and was heavily criticized by civil rights watchdogs.
		There have also been complaints that Thaksin has been stacking the civil service with his relatives and business associates, for example by elevating his cousin, General Chaiyasit Shinawatra, from a remote district to Army commander-in-chief.
