so it's unlikely that execution, meant as the criminal justice system carrying out a death sentence, would be murder.
Likewise, under a declaration of war, killing in the context of war would not be unlawful, and thus, not murder.
Of course, you could have a state-sanctioned execution that is murder or killing in war that constitutes murder.
