<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Building on competing interpretations of necropower in the first world, the author argues that the United States and Canada enforce their sovereign power of killing
not above or below the law but through it. North American first world countries use legal frameworks to accumulate capital through activities that produce death in specific geographies and spaces along the lines of nationality, ethnicity, race, class, and
gender. The chapter calls this rule of law necropower, and is illustrated using examples such as mass incarceration, migration, and extractivism in indigenous lands.</span></p>
