I think the article is too focused on international laws and humanitarian rights. It could have something about situations in which summary executions are common (capture of enemy snipers and enemy bomber pilots, for example), and the psychology involved in such act (revenge, hatred...), for example.

Can anyone explain the (currently un-cited) assertion that Anwar al-Awlaki died by summary execution? As I understand it, summary execution requires that the executed person be under the control of the executioner, and al-Awlaki was at large and under no immediate possibility of arrest when the missile strike was carried out. The killing was certainly extrajudicial, but it strikes me more as a warlike action than a summary execution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.208.8.103 ( talk) 04:56, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
I guess the measures against partisans by the German fall under that. Yet they'll be placed under "massacres" or "war crimes". I find nothing of that in the article.-- 41.151.62.48 ( talk) 16:47, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
Should the Death of Muammar Gaddafi be included on this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.187.242.167 ( talk) 01:11, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
The article on Gaddafi's death says it is unclear who killed him. Reports seem to differ on if it was a mob, a group of soldiers, or a foreign agent. I would recommend not including this example until this is cleared up, because summary execution does not usually include someone killed in custody without governmental authority (such as Lee Harvey Oswald).

While I am no expert on Cuba or it's justice system past or present, this section seems to be A. Not Cited well and B. Too strongly worded. Two of the three citations used are US articles from more than 20 years ago, problematic because it may have been hard for U.S. newspapers to have NPOV's themselves at the time. The other article is from a site called executedtoday which itself cites mostly sources dated to the late 1950s. The last fact is not cited at all. Perhaps it would be prudent to check out these citations. GeekX ( talk) 00:06, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

In Europe during the war, soldiers on both sides report frequent summary executions. English and French are particularly easy for English speakers to find. 98.228.210.48 ( talk) 22:29, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
How come all the photos show German soldiers committing summary executions? By just looking at the page you may get the idea that summary executions occured only under nazi rule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.104.198.176 ( talk) 04:51, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
This list in the Notable cases of summary executions is a random selection of events that may or may not qualify as notable (i.e. the single person shot on MV Gustloff). I propose the section be removed in its entirety. Are there any concerns about this? K.e.coffman ( talk) 22:55, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
I'm going to remove Other cases section is only tangentially relevant and poorly sourced; the link provided has nothing on summary executions. K.e.coffman ( talk) 18:49, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
