The Right of Vengeance was a Klingon right that was invoked over a matter of honor where one warrior seeks revenge against another. The claimant engages in mortal combat against his enemy until death or, where the Klingon High Council has convicted said enemy, claims the right to pronounce and carry out sentence, usually executing the convict, but also possessing the right to show clemency. (TNG episodes Reunion, Redemption; DS9 episode The Sword of Kahless)
