Frequently characterized as either mercenaries in modern guise or the market's response to a security vacuum, private military companies are commercial firms offering military services ranging from combat and military training and advice to logistical support, and which play an increasingly important role in armed conflicts, UN peace operations, and providing security in unstable states. Executive Outcomes turned around an orphaned conflict in Sierra Leone in the mid-1990s; Military Professional Resources Incorporated (MPRI) was instrumental in shifting the balance of power in the Balkans, enabling the Croatian military to defeat Serb forces and clear the way for the Dayton negotiations; in Iraq, estimates of the number of private contractors on the ground are in the tens of thousands. As they assume more responsibilities in conflict and post-conflict settings, their growing significance raises fundamental questions about their nature, their role in different regions and contexts, and their regulation. This volume examines these issues with a focus on governance, in particular the interaction between regulation and market forces. It analyzes the current legal framework and the needs and possibilities for regulation in the years ahead. The book as a whole is organized around four sets of questions, which are reflected in the four parts of the book. First, why and how is regulation of PMCs now a challenging issue? Secondly, how have problems leading to a call for regulation manifested in different regions and contexts? Third, what regulatory norms and institutions currently exist and how effective are they? And, fourth, what role has the market to play in regulation?

Frequently characterized as either mercenaries in modern guise or the market's response to a security vaccuum, private military companies are commercial firms offering military services ranging from combat and military training and advice to logistical support, and which play an increasingly important role in armed conflicts, UN peace operations, and providing security in unstable states. Executive Outcomes turned around an orphaned conflict in Sierra Leone in the mid-1990s; Military Professional Resources Incorporated (MPRI) was instrumental in shifting the balance of power in the Balkans, enabling the Croatian military to defeat Serb forces and clear the way for the Dayton negotiations; in Iraq, estimates of the number of private contractors on the ground are in the tens of thousands.

Tillfälligt slut
Private Militärfirmen stellen neuartige Herausforderungen an ein Rechtssystem, das sich primär an Staaten und internationale Organisationen richtet. Gleichzeitig ist das hergebrachte Konzept der völkerrechtlichen Verantwortlichkeit zentral für die Verwirklichung humanitär-völkerrechtlicher und menschenrechtlicher Verpflichtungen. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht Chia Lehnardt, welche Bedeutung diesem Konzept zukommt, wenn Staaten oder die UN private Militärfirmen einsetzen. Dabei erweist sich das gegenwärtige System völkerrechtlicher Verantwortlichkeit aus zwei Gründen als wirklichkeitsnah. Erstens ist nicht die formale, sondern die tatsächliche Organisation eines Staates bzw. einer Peacekeeping-Operation entscheidend. Zweitens wird die besondere Rolle des Auftraggebers erfasst, indem ihm erhöhte Schutzpflichten auferlegt werden. Mit der Auslagerung militärischer Funktionen geht daher nicht die Auslagerung völkerrechtlicher Verantwortlichkeit einher.
