The Privatisation of Security [scroll down to Draft Global Code of Conduct for Private Security Companies and Private Military Companies]

The first draft of the “Global Code of Conduct for Private Security Companies and Private Military Companies” is now available for public consultation. This draft Code is the result of an active collaboration of members of the private security industry along with the Swiss Department of Foreign Affairs, the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF) and the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights (ADH) to support the development of a Global Code of Conduct (CoC) that lays down international industry norms and standards for the provision of private security services. Also actively involved in the drafting process are representatives from US and UK governments...This Draft Code is open for public comment. We kindly ask you to submit comments to Nils Rosemann of the Swiss Department of Foreign Affairs...no later than 30 April 2010.
