- Title
PLAYING CATCH-UP: PROPOSING THE CREATION OF STATUS-BASED REGULATIONS TO BRING PRIVATE MILITARY CONTRACTOR FIRMS WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC LAW.
- Authors
Yasin, Huma T.
- Abstract
The article analyzes the conduct of the privately contracted military firm (PCMF). Its operation is not restricted to the standard conduct upheld by military personnel. The international and domestic law are found not capable to regulate PCMF conduct as they fail to provide an adequate definition or jurisdictional mechanism for its misconduct. The author suggests the need for such law to address the gap that allows the PCMF to escape liability.
