The article reports on the planned international accountability policies for the private security companies (PSCs) as endorsed by the Montreux Document. It discusses the need to establish an independent enforcement mechanism that supplements national legislation, and that ensures compliance of the companies with the code. It also notes the recommendation by Great Britain and the U.S. National Defense Act of 2010 to require companies with a third party certification for security contracts.
