Can somebody explain why this is illegal? I thought mercenaries were legal.
I have a Swedish friend who joined as a mercenary a private army in the Yugoslav war in the 90'ies. That was legally unproblematic.
So I don't know what makes this conflict so special?
Is it just a post 9/11 thing that we brand any combatant we don't like as terrorists?
