Private Military Companies and Their Resemblance to Mercenary

handle is hein.journals/studjuv2015 and id is 217 raw text is: PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANIES AND THEIR RESEMBLANCE TO MERCENARY Alexandru CAUIA, doctor in drept, conferentiar universitar, ULIM Corina ZACON, doctoranda This article debates the judicial osmosis between Private Military Companies and the tradi- tional concept of Mercenary. Throughout a chained chronicle of events, it is well - observed that these combatants have operated privately due to a specific high -financial motivation. As time passed, their judicial aspect suffered an alteration by default, hence endorsing new denominations. The main idea stands in the fact that these actors are ex - law - enforce- ment combatants, currently as civilians who are recruited as self - contractors. Afew remarks pointed out in this paper consist from the State's null - responsibility and the provision of international immunity to the military operations. Mainly, this document cares to explain the resemblance between the assignments of Private Military Companies and the operations of Mercenaries. Along with a variety of factual examples, the main clue stands in the fact that all legal denotations of them as an entity are completely irrelevant as long as their activity is perfectly identical. Key words: private; mercenary; null-responsibility; international; protection; military Prezentul articol pune in discutie similaritatea juridica dintre Companiile Militare Private si traditionalul concept de Mercenariat. Prin prisma relatarilor istorice, este clar elucidat factorulpecuniar care defapt era si motivatia acestor combatanti ilegali in cadrul desfasurarii activitaitilor mercenare. 0 data cu trecerea timpului, interpretarea lor juridica ca entitate a suferit schimbari la nivel de titlu, respectiv adoptand noi calificative. Un argument esential pe care se bazeaza prezenta cercetare, este ca angajatii respectivi sunt caracterizati prin experient militara anterioard, actualmente recrutati in calitate de civili si prestatori de servicii in domeniul militar. In urma argumentelor expuse, o serie de neclaritti controversate, referitor la elementul privat in cadrul companiilor militare raman a fi elucidate. Fenomenul responsabilitate - zero a statului precum si a beneficiarii protectiei internationale pe parcursul operatiunilor militare sunt doar cateva puncte de reper ale acestui document. Alaturi de exemplele relatate in articol, cea mai importanta remarcd e la adresa calificarilorjuridice obtinute de-a lungul anilor de catre acesti combatanti, care prin urmare ramin a fi percepute ca find irelevante atdt timp cdt rezultatele activitLatii de mercenariat sau, mai - nou a Companiilor Militare Private ramdnd afi identice. Cuvinte cheie: militare; mercenariat; similaritatea; private; international; protectie; respon- sabilitate 25
