Global Research, November 8, 2010 UN Working Group on Mercenaries
- 2010-11-07

The United Nation Human Rights Council, under the Universal Periodic
Review, started on 5 November 2010 in Geneva, reviewing the human
rights record of the United States. The following is an edited
version of the presentation given by Jose L. Gomez del Prado in
Geneva on 3 November 2010 at a parallel meeting at the UN Palais
des Nations on that occasion.

Private military and security companies (PMSC) are the modern
reincarnation of a long lineage of private providers of physical
force: corsairs, privateers and mercenaries. Mercenaries, which had
practically disappeared during the XIXth and XXth centuries,
reappeared in the 1960s during the decolonization period operating
mainly in Africa and Asia. Under the United Nations a convention
was adopted which outlaws and criminalizes their activities.
Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions also contains a
definition of mercenary.

The reason for these "mercenaries" as you put it, is Congress, which 
dictates the rules of engagement.

Out military is forced to first check and verify the ID of an enemy solder, 
before it can kill him. I'm sure even a Lefttard like you can detect the 
quandary that poses.

Mercenaries, on the other hand, shoot to kill first and then look for an ID. 
Their reasoning, if a person lingers in a combat zone, he's the enemy, plain 
and simple. Their survival rate is also far greater than that of a regular 
soldier.

But, alas .... I don't expect a coward like you to get any of it.
