Honduran Mercenaries

A special session of the United Nation’s Human Rights Council in Geneva heard testimony by José Luis Gómez del Prado, Chairman-Rapporteur of the Working Group on the Use of Mercenaries, who outlined his team’s findings in Honduras. The Working Group has operated with a mandate to both monitor and study activities of private military and security outfits; evaluating their impact on human rights and international law in many countries, including Honduras. Claims by former private security personnel who claim they trained at the disputed base have so far been rejected by the military authorities. The Honduran Human Rights Prosecutors Office is currently investigating any wrong doing. Taken from http://www.marrder.com/htw/national.html
