This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the law that applies to PMSCs active in situations of armed conflict, focusing on international humanitarian law. It examines the limits in international law on how states may use private actors, taking the debate beyond the question of whether PMSCs are mercenaries. The authors delve into issues such as how PMSCs are bound by humanitarian law, whether their staff are civilians or combatants, and how the use of force in self-defence relates to direct participation in hostilities, a key issue for an industry that operates by exploiting the right to use force in self-defence. Throughout, the authors identify how existing legal obligations, including under state and individual criminal responsibility should play a role in the regulation of the industry.Private military companies (International law)Security, InternationalPrivate military companies (International law)Security, International.341.6Cameron Lindsey1604386Chetail Vincent505328MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814989303321Privatising war4201009UNINA
