Under article 3 (g) of the Definition of Aggression (which served as a basis for the elaboration of paragraph 4 (g) of article 12 of the draft Code, provisionally adopted by the Commission at its fortieth session), a/ the sending by or on behalf of a State of mercenaries which carry out acts of armed force against another State (or its substantial involvement therein) qualifies as an \ct of aggression under certain conditions. Article 47 of Additional Protocol I deals with the status of mercenaries, specifying that a mercenary shall not have the right to be a combatant or a prisoner of war. The 1989 Convention, on the other hand, established as offences the recruitment, use, financing and training of mercenaries and the direct participation by a mercenary in hostilities or a concerted act of violence. (3) -oh 1, sets the scope and limits of the crime dealt with in the article. It makes clear first that the crime is not constituted by the activities of the mercenaries themselves but rather by the act.s of recruiting, using, financing or training of mercenaries. Secondly, the only persons to whom the crime can be attributed are agents or representatives of a State. Thirdly, to fall under the definition, the acts must have one of two objectives8 the mercenaries must be recruited, used, financed or trained either (a) fD,r activities dir&ted against another State, or (b) for the purpose of opposing the legitimate exercise of the inalienable right of peoples +O self-determination as recognized under international law. fi/ With
