During Voldemort's first reign of terror, Aurors were authorized by
Crouch Sr to use any and all Unforgivable Curses, but I think that 
was an emergency authorization. When the immediate emergency ended, 
the authorization ended with it. Now, the wizard world and Aurors are
operating under peace-time rules.

Juli:
I believe what makes an Unforgiveable curse unforgivable and 
completly illegal is that its use goes agains ethics, let me try to 
explain it a bit.

The three priciples in ethics are: Automony (a person may do what 
he/she desires), Well-being (always seeking for the better way to do 
things), and justice (equal rights).

Now, the Imperius curse, it makes someone do any number of things 
against their will (not autonomy).
Crucio: you just can't do anyone any good by crucioing them (well-
being)
Avada Kevadra: the caster is chosing for the victim his choice of 
living or dying and he isn't seeking his well-fare.

I know many other curses and jinxes and charms cause similar efects 
but it seems to be that they are limited, they act agains ethics but 
only for a short period of time.

Back to Aurors, they are the policemen of the WW, their job is to 
keep the world safe, and like cops in a gun shot, wizards in a duel 
can be killed, but it all depends the way it is done, we know Moody 
has killed quite a number of DEs but I doubt he ever tried to AK 
them, they just got killed by any other means. It's the difference 
between man slaughter and homicide, completly different. so, I 
believe Aurors should not use the Unforgiveables, but they have the 
rhight to fight back and if the other wizard dies, well tom bad, 
that's it.
