This Note entails an examina- tion of the circumstances of that trial. The narrow focus here will be the aspects of procedural and substantive fairness in the trial, while the broader concern will be the impact of this trial on the development of the laws of war, particularly as regards the status of mercenaries under international law.

  • To Leash Or Not to Leash the Dogs of War? the Politics of Law and Australia’S Response to Mercenarism and Private Military and Security Companies
    Kim Sorensen* TO LEASH OR NOT TO LEASH THE DOGS OF WAR? THE POLITICS OF LAW AND AUSTRALIA’S RESPONSE TO MERCENARISM AND PRIVATE MILITARY AND SECURITY COMPANIES ABSTRACT The growth in the number of private military and security companies (‘PMSCs’) in the post-Cold War era has been exponential. An oft-raised concern regarding this growth is how to deal with PMSCs in relation to international anti-mercenary norms. Some would say that PMSCs are little more than corporatised mercenaries and deserve moral and legal opprobrium as mercenaries. Others maintain that PMSCs are legitimate military and security service providers, capable of self-regulation under industry codes and international regulatory initiatives on PMSCs. Others argue that even if PMSCs do not fit the mercenary tag, they pose problems for stability in weak or failing states, which often lack the means to make PMSCs accountable for their actions. This article focuses on evaluating Australian responses to international concerns about the modalities of mercenarism both past and present. The critical core of the article is the argument that achieving progress on building legal frameworks to regulate the privatisation of war is inextricably linked with the politics of law. I INTRODUCTION t seems paradoxical that Australia declined to support the International Convention Against Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries1 Iin 1989 and yet in 1991 ratified the Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conven- tions of 12 August 1949, and Relating to the Protection of Victims of International * BA Hons, PhD, Grad Dip Ed, LLB Hons (Adelaide); Tutor, Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Adelaide; Lecturer and Tutor, University Preparatory Program, University of Adelaide.

  • Myths, Mercenaries and Contemporary International Law
    Taulbee: Myths, Mercenaries and Contemporary International Law MYTHS, MERCENARIES AND CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL LAW JAMES L. TAULBEE* Mercenaries have played an important role in warfare through- out most of Western history. From the Teutonic tribesmen who served in Roman legions to the Hessian and Hanoverian soldiers who fought under the British flag in the American Revolutionary War, mercenaries have played an integral role in many armies.' In the period before the French Revolution many governments routinely hired non-national professionals. Experienced professional officers commanded a high price for their services. Mercenaries formed the reliable core of many armies because conscripts and other recruits, out of necessity, came from otherwise non-productive echelons of the country's population.2 The rise of nationalism and the citizen-soldier has caused the large scale use of mercenaries to decline. Yet the activities of soldiers of fortune have nevertheless surfaced as an issue of international con- cern. This has been due primarily to the continuing participation of mercenaries in internal armed conflicts in Africa and elsewhere.' In describing the perspective of many black African States, Burchett * B.A., Purdue University, 1964; Ph.D., The Johns Hopkins University, 1970; Associate Professor of Political Science, Emory University.
