- W159148370 abstract "The United States and other governments increasingly have turned to hiring private military and private security companies (jointly “PMSCs”) in situations of armed conflict. As neither clearly combatants nor civilians, the application of international humanitarian law (“IHL”) to PMSCs remains unclear. The emerging consensus among academics and the international community is that given the realities of the PMSC industry, the vast majority of PMSC personnel will have the status of civilian, which protects them unless and until they directly participate in hostilities.Presumptively treating the vast majority of PMSC personnel as civilians, although consistent with a general IHL presumption in favor of civilian status, is over-inclusive and leads to legal and practical difficulties. This article contends that it is possible and preferable to identify a sub-classification within PMSCs by treating differently PMSCs hired to engage in activities that constitute direct participation in hostilities. If PMSCs are contracted to perform specified activities constituting direct participation, defined as “contractor combatant activities,” they should be considered combatants. Through a suggested treaty provision, States contracting PMSCs to engage in contractor combatant activities would be required to contractually mandate PMSC compliance with Article 4(A)(2) of the Third Geneva Convention. Such an approach carves out from civilian status a category of PMSC personnel that engage in combatant-type activities. This approach to regulating PMSCs would be both more functional in practice and more harmonious with the doctrine and purposes of international humanitarian law." @default.
