| rdfs:comment | - The Right of Vengeance was a Klingon right that was invoked over a matter of honor where one warrior seeks revenge against another. Any Klingon, even one who has been discommendated, may claim the right. 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. However in that case, the claimant also has the right to show clemency to his foe and spare his life. (TNG episodes: "Reunion", "Redemption", DS9 episode: "The Sword of Kahless")
- The Right of Vengeance was a traditional Klingon matter of honor that was claimed when a Klingon sought revenge against another. Any Klingon, even one who had received discommendation, could claim it. After Duras murdered K'Ehleyr in 2367, Lieutenant Worf claimed Right of Vengeance against Duras. Initially, Duras rejected the challenge, but subsequently accepted it when Worf declared that K'Ehleyr was his mate. Worf then killed Duras in hand-to-hand combat. (TNG: "Reunion" )

(TNG: "Reunion" ) In early 2368, when it was discovered that the House of Duras had conspired to destroy the honor of the Mogh, Chancellor Gowron offered Worf the life of Toral in exchange for his family's misdeeds against the House of Mogh. Worf declined because Toral was a boy who had done nothing, a decision he regretted a few years later. (TNG: "Redemption II" ) According to Kor, "A Klingon who denies himself the Right of Vengeance is no Klingon at all." (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")
