Private Military Companies (PMCs) have become increasingly prominent in modern conflict scenarios, often blurring the lines between mercenaries and legitimate military forces. The lack of a clear legal framework governing their activities raises concerns about accountability, human rights violations, and the potential for destabilization. This agenda aims to discuss the need for a comprehensive legal architecture to regulate PMCs and ensure their operations align with international norms.
Some of the key problems that arise due to the absence of legal architecture surrounding PMCs are the lack of international legal personality, lack of state accountability and the voluntary nature of regulations. Existing legal architexture such as the Montreux Document, ICoC and the Mercenary convention don’t adequately regulate PMCs and are non-binding leading to them becoming a means of guidance and recommendation.
To address these challenges, DISEC must consider the development of a comprehensive legal framework that can be universally applied. The key elements of which would be defining PMCs, giving them international identification, international regulation and oversight, transparency mandates, licensing and certification and clear accountability mechanisms. By establishing a strong legal framework, DISEC can pave the way for a safer, more accountable use of private military resources in international security, and uphold human rights and state sovereignty.
