---

The Impact of Mercenary Activities on the Right of Peoples to Self-Determination: Fact Sheet No. 28 examines the ways in which mercenary involvement in armed conflicts undermines the exercise of peoples’ right to freely determine their political status and pursue their economic, social, and cultural development. The fact sheet outlines the historical context and evolution of mercenary activities, including their role in destabilizing governments, fueling internal conflicts, and obstructing national sovereignty. It explains the relevant international legal framework, such as the International Convention against the Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries, and highlights the responsibilities of states to criminalize and prevent such practices. The text also addresses the work of United Nations mechanisms, including the Working Group on the Use of Mercenaries, in monitoring and combating these activities. By linking mercenarism to violations of self-determination, the fact sheet provides a critical resource for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners engaged in human rights, peace, and security issues.
