Extrajudicial definition

Extrajudicial means something that is outside of the normal justice system.
Extrajudicial means ‘without due sanction of law’. An extrajudicial execution means executing someone for a reason untried and untested by legal process. If a nation arrogates to itself exceptionality, as the US has to itself - and to its miniature mirror image, Israel - there is no such thing as ‘extrajudicial executions’. There is no such thing as illegal abductions or universally outlawed techniques of torture. There is nothing wrong in drones which seek out US enemies and in the process traumatise whole communities, scar the minds and lives of children and, when something goes wrong, wipe out the guests at weddings or hit schools or hospitals. There is nothing wrong in identifying individuals you think just might be your enemy though you have no proof, abducting them from their homes in sovereign countries, taking them to secret interrogation centres in other complaint countries where torture is commonplace and if necessary sending them to yet other countries where even more ‘effective’ forms of torture are condoned. There is nothing wrong in keeping an illegal base in Cuba against the wishes of the Cuban government even when the lease has run out and there, on Cuban soil, setting up a scar on the conscience of the world, namely Guantanamo. Even Obama was embarrassed with that and promised to close it. Did he?
Extrajudicial means “outside the court.” Thus, extrajudicial measures aim to hold a young person accountable without proceeding through the formal court process. The YCJA encourages the use of extrajudicial measures in all cases where they are adequate to hold a young person accountable. Extrajudicial measures are presumed to be adequate to hold a first-time non-violent offender accountable and can be used even if a young person has previously been dealt with by extrajudicial measures or has previously been found guilty of an offence. The YCJA requires police officers to consider the use of extrajudicial measures before deciding to charge a young person and stipulates that police services are to keep a record of any extrajudicial measure used to hold a young person accountable.
