The extensive outsourcing of military and security activities has challenged conventional conceptions of the state as the primary holder of coercive power and raised concerns about the reduction in state control over the use of violence. Hannah Tonkin critically analyses the international obligations on three key states - the hiring state, the home state and the host state of a PMSC - and identifies the circumstances in which PMSC misconduct may give rise to state responsibility. This analysis will facilitate the assessment of state responsibility in cases of PMSC misconduct and set standards to guide states in developing their domestic laws and policies on private security. 410 0$aCambridge studies in international and comparative law (Cambridge, England : 1996) ;$v84. 517 3 $aState Control over Private Military & Security Companies in Armed Conflict 606 $aMercenary troops (International law) 606 $aMercenary troops$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $aPrivate military companies (International law) 606 $aPrivate military companies$xLaw and legislation 606 $aPrivate security services$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aMercenary troops (International law) 615 0$aMercenary troops$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aPrivate military companies (International law) 615 0$aPrivate military companies$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aPrivate security services$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a355.3/5 700 $aTonkin$b Hannah$f1981-$0611656 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458043403321 996 $aState control over private military and security companies in armed conflict$91138274 997 $aUNINA
