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. 606 $aPrivate military companies (International law) 606 $aSecurity, International 615 0$aPrivate military companies (International law) 615 0$aSecurity, International. 676 $a341.6 700 $aCameron$b Lindsey$01604386 701 $aChetail$b Vincent$0505328 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814989303321 996 $aPrivatising war$94201009 997 $aUNINA
