The past two decades have witnessed the rapid proliferation of
private military and security companies (PMSCs) in armed conflicts
around the world, with PMSCs participating in, for example,
offensive combat, prisoner interrogation and the provision of
advice and training. The extensive outsourcing of military and
security activities has challenged conventional conceptions of the
state as the primary holder of coercive power and raised concerns
about the reduction in state control over the use of violence.
Hannah Tonkin critically analyses the international obligations on
three key states - the hiring state, the home state and the host
state of a PMSC - and identifies the circumstances in which PMSC
misconduct may give rise to state responsibility. This analysis
will facilitate the assessment of state responsibility in cases of
PMSC misconduct and set standards to guide states in developing
their domestic laws and policies on private security.
