I thought about this when a coworker mentioned in casual conversation that they wondered why a certain head of state (no reason to get into specifics) is not simply done away with to resolve a currently ongoing international conflict. To my knowledge that’s almost never done in the real world because it rarely works as intended. I was wondering if any politics/international relationship experts or avid Hitman/Assassin’s Creed players knows the real reason why this is, and if there’s even a official term for why this is not done in real politics? Thanks.

It’s difficult to do, Heads of State have a lot of security, and the country you’ve targeted will probably retaliate in some way, which could be terrorist attackes or decalring war on the country they know or suspect did it.
It’s also against all kinds if international law, so don’t expect any other country to back you up.
