A Farewell to Private Arms?

Viac o knihe

The book explores the dual challenges posed by the rise of private military companies (PMCs) and the international community's inadequate responses to peacekeeping issues. It examines the legal status of PMCs, questioning whether they are classified as mercenaries and analyzing the enforcement of existing laws. The author argues that states often evade their responsibilities regarding PMCs and critiques the UN's shortcomings in peace enforcement. A practical proposal is presented for the UN to regulate and utilize PMCs for peacekeeping, along with anticipated counter-arguments.
