I thought I would post this, as a resource for anyone interested. It is interesting that Feral Jundi has been in existence for over a year now, and I would have thought that maybe someone from this group would have liked to talk with either myself or Jake or whomever. I do not consider myself that unapproachable, but I also don’t consider myself a mercenary. This site is pretty apolitical too, so I just don’t understand why no one has made the effort to make contact?
They say that they are reaching out to folks, but you would think that new media would be one area that they could easily and readily reach out to? Either way, I highly recommend sending these folks your thoughts about the subject they are invested in. It is time to fill the void of information, and a good start is to actually talk. Good luck with Ms. Lucke, and tell her I said hi. Cheers. –Matt

Introduction
The Working Group on the use of mercenaries as a means of violating human rights and impeding the exercise of the rights of peoples to self-determination was established in July 2005 pursuant to Commission on Human Rights resolution 2005/2. It succeeded the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the use of mercenaries, which had been in existence since 1987 and was serviced by Mr. Enrique Bernales Ballesteros (Peru) from 1987 to 2004 and Ms. Shaista Shameem (Fiji) from 2004 to 2005. In March 2008, the Human Rights Council extended the mandate of the Working Group for a period of three years.
