Sanction Four

Sanction Four

Sanction Four is a punishment meted out by the Multinational Forces in John Birmingham's Axis of Time novel "Designated Targets".

Under the rules of engagement of January 15, 2021, Sanction Four is authorized against enemy forces who have committed atrocities against civilians and military Prisoners of War. The condemned are led (or dragged) to a large trench, where their hands are cuffed together. A Multinational Force member announces that they have been convicted of a "crime against humanity". No last rites are performed. The prisoner is then executed with a single shot to the back of the head by a member of the Multinational Force selected for field punishment duty (medical personnel can ask for exemption from this detail).
