Jag vill nämna att det i huvudsak inte är Sveriges Rikes Lag reglerar det här entrepenörskapet, utan i huvudsak FNs konvention mot rekryterandet, användandet, finansierandet och utbildandet av legosoldater.
" Article 1
For the purposes of the present Convention,
1. A mercenary is any person who:
(a) Is specially recruited locally or abroad in order to fight in an armed conflict;
(b) Is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a party
to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar rank and functions in the armed
forces of that party;
© Is neither a national of a party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a party to the conflict;
(d) Is not a member of the armed forces of a party to the conflict; and
(e) Has not been sent by a State which is not a party to the conflict on official duty as a member of its armed forces."
" Article 5
1. States Parties shall not recruit, use, finance or train mercenaries and shall prohibit such activities in accordance with the provisions of the
present Convention.
2. States Parties shall not recruit, use, finance or train mercenaries for the purpose of opposing the legitimate exercise of the inalienable right of
peoples to self-determination, as recognized by international law, and shall take, in conformity with international law, the appropriate measures to
prevent the recruitment, use, financing or training of mercenaries for that purpose.
3. They shall make the offences set forth in the present Convention punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account the grave nature
of those offences."
Jag tror att det är de viktigaste artiklarna i konventionen och att de ska ge lite ljus över varför Sverige inte anlitar så många PMCs eller dylikt. Att få FNs generalråd och säkerhetsråd mot sig är inte optimalt. Självklart så gäller det ju endast exemplet med prickskyttarna, men de andra exemplen kan även ses som känsliga i frågan.
