that's actually a great argument. The duty of care would further be triggered by the fact that he BP himself inflicted the wound - thus caused it.

If you wound somebody, even in self defense, but later neglect to call help and deliberately let him die (without him being a threat anymore) it's some degree of (dolus eventualis) murder or manslaughter depending on the jurisdiction.

Agreed. That's what I've been telling the MCU fans here for a long time. T'Challa refused to save Killmonger after neutralizing Killmonger with a fatal would so that Killmonger was no longer an immediate threat. Of course, since Wakanda is an absolute monarchy and the King has absolute power, like a dictator, T'Challa's refusal to save Killmonger's life wouldn't be murder/manslaughter but an execution.

So effectively, T'Challa executed Killmonger without any trial. Now legally, T'Challa had the power and the right as King and absolute monarch of Wakanda to execute anyone he wants to. But Killmonger was an American citizen so the execution of an American citizen without any trial would be bad for foreign relations.

so you are saying that Wakanda despite having Star Wars type of cities and vehicles is still an absolute monarchy, not a constitutional one…?

Here on earth that was mostly abolished with the French revolution or the 1849 constitutional revolutions latest.

If this is true T'Challa is a ruthless dictator like K Feige and a war criminal. It's as if Feige had held the lethal weapon himself, even if he was Out of Town again.

Reason enough to reboot the MCU and to prosecute Feige.
