Treść głównego artykułu

Abstrakt

The article addresses the issue of normative-legal regulation concerning the operations of international private military companies (hereafter: PMCs). The specifics of the activities of international private military companies and their significance in the modern world are examined. The main emphasis is placed on analyzing documents that regulate the functioning of private military structures, particularly the Montreux Document, the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers, and the role of the International Association of the Code of Conduct in monitoring the actions of PMCs. Additionally, the mechanisms for regulating the activities of private military companies at the level of influential intergovernmental organizations such as the UN, EU, and NATO are analyzed. Challenges in the legal field resulting from the increased demand for PMC services are outlined. The conclusion drawn emphasizes the expediency of strengthening the normative-legal framework for regulating the activities of international private military companies.
