I'm not sure that boycotting work like this actually helps anyone.
If the concern is with neutrality, then that can be sorted by requesting a specific contract (although how enforceable that might be once your in a foreign land is questionable). Anyways, you can say all you need afterwards presumably.
If the concern is that a recommendation made by the specialist might or might/not lead to deaths, yeah I can understand that. However this reminds me of the 'pick one person not to be killed' moral dilemma.... is abstaining from a choice actually helping.
To put it into perspective - there was a doco on Afghan widows the other night. The situation as shown was really too nasty to be watchable TV. We hear about this stuff all the time - the locals are uneducated and their morals/ethics are stranger than anything we see locally.
So I think it's right to help in some way. As long as late recruits don't get trapped into becoming designated scapegoats (ie "we did everything they suggested and it was a failure").
It might help if the recruits put their stated conditions in the contract or documented these carefully and mailed them to a lawyer first. Dunno. Just a thought.
