The growth in scope and importance of the private military and security industry in
the past decade has challenged the role of the state as the main provider of defence
and security functions. At the same time it has put under stress the state's authority
to properly oversee the conduct of private contractors and has raised the question
of whether existing rules of domestic law and international law are adequate to ensure
their accountability in the event of abuse. This book addresses this question through
the lens of international human rights law and international humanitarian law. It
presents a systematic analysis of the way in which these two bodies of international
law, applicable in times of peace and in the event of armed conflict, may be interpreted
and implemented in a way so as to fill possible accountability gaps. Human rights
and humanitarian law obligations are analysed from the point of view of their applicability
to the states involved, to international organisations, and to the companies and their
individual employees. Victims' access to civil remedies and the criminal prosecution
of private contractors, as well as new policy issues, such as the use of private contractors
in the fight against piracy, are also covered in the book. Readership: Scholars and
students of international human rights law, humanitarian law, and war studies; policy-makers;
governmental and non-governmental legal advisers. - Publisher description.
