YAS HAMILTON but also re-wizarding duels and killing spells:
Im not entirely sure what the question is but I would say no they would not be allowed to use Avada Kedavra. According to the wiki, that and the other two curses [Imprio and Crucio] were classified as Unforgivable in 1717. By the 1990’s is when we learn they would earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban. I think it's safe to assume this piece of legislation passed earlier than this because Aurors had to be granted express permission to use it during the First and Second Wizarding Wars.
And that's the DMLE that gave them permission, so I doubt they could do that, nevermind the fact that if they did it in Hyde Park both wizards regardless if either one hit their target would get thrown into Azkaban ASAP.
In terms of dueling, the intention was to restore wounded honor after a slight, however the use of even one the Unforgivable Curses would - by definition of the name of the trio of spells - directly negate any sort of honor on both party's behalf after the fact. Nevermind the person's reputation in wizarding society.
