Under two conditions only -
1) The dictator represents an immediate and active threat to a group of people.
2) The entity proposing to carry out the assassination has a clear and workable plan to replace the dictator and his regime for something better.
(Or war has been declared by said dictator, in which case his assassination is a legitimate act of war)

Not really a history question. How many dictators (dictator in the modern sense of the word; Caesar doesn't count) have been assassinated? I can't think of any.
Besides you can depose a dictator. No need to kill him.

I don't think the killing of anyone should be justified but if a dictator is out of control and he/she has been corrupted by power, then he should be removed from power and possibly be forced to answer (in a court of law) for what he has done or in some cases, failed to do.

Nobody-NOBODY has the right to take away the life of another person. It would, however, be totally justified to take this person out of authority.
