In a follow-up post, he explained that his missions concerned tracking suspected war criminals and delivering them to war crimes courts.
Does that change your view in any way?
- allendoerfer 10y agoIt does not change my view on private military. I do not think mercenaries should exist at all. I am a fan of a strict monopoly on the use of force by the state, which in foreign states should be backed by the UN. For me it is a question about moral. Similar to the death penalty, there might be cases where you think someone deserves to be dead. I just think that especially when dealing with bad criminals law must never be opportunistic and must at all times have the moral upper hand. I think when ultima ratio has to be taken, it should be taken by individuals who later have to account for their actions. Law should never allow it. His post perfectly answers my question. I can see why this is a huge motivation.
