Assassin Immunity Licence

An Assassin Immunity Licence aka Assassin's Licence is a certificate of immunity granted to various members of the Joint Intelligence Community.

Origins
The AIL was established at the request of newly appointed MI5 Director, Ian White in 2010. Following this request, the Home Secretary began to pursue the idea and spent a whole five months working on a big proposal to submit to the government.

Once the proposal was drawn up and presented first to the Prime Minister and soon after it was added to the Intelligence Services Act 2011.

Uses
The assassin's licence grants the bearer legal authority to take the life of a person/or persons posing an immediate threat to the safety of the public or national security.

With the assassin's licences comes immunity from prosecution unless revoked by the bearer's supervisor or the Home Secretary.
