2. Privatization, Force, and Jus in Bello Rules: The Normative Problem.

Author

Eckert, Amy

Subjects
*PRIVATIZATION, *JUST war doctrine, *POLITICAL violence, *PRIVATE military companies, *PRIVATE security services
Abstract

Jus in bello norms, which became a significant part of the just war tradition only after the rise of the state system, assumes the existence of a national military and the state's monopoly on political violence. This paper argues that the growth of the private military and security industry challenges these assumptions and, consequently, creates problems for jus in bello norms as currently formulated. This paper examines these problems and proposses a solution for integrating private actors into jus in bello norms. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
