Perhaps the legal justification needs to be abstracted from specific cases. Only if a specific case fulfills the justification can that justification be used in secret prior to full execution of that move which then requires full disclosure in post mortem of the event. A non-indefinite yet reasonable time limit should be another requirement that forces either rescinding the justification and/or requiring full disclosure.
This way a justification can be made without details being made public that would alert a sensitive target. It is also necessary to make sure that a potential authorized kill could not be held open indefinitely and the details released publicly in a timely manner.
What happens when an ultimatum is given and Russia does decide to do something?

And yet highway robbery is the dirty secret the transportation industry doesn't want people to know about. It's an increasing trend in the transportation industry to install hard/software that allows for better tracking and incident reporting. Everything from robbery to driver "safety" ratings and insurance investigations.
