A forum for participants of the Montreux Document on pertinent international legal obligations and good practices for states related to operations of private military and security companies during armed conflict.
DCAF, in its capacity as the Montreux Document Forum Secretariat, invites States to submit requests for advisory support related to the regulation of private military and security companies.
Research authored by Charlotte Penel and Ulrich Petersohn shows strong evidence of the impact of the implementation of the Montreux Document on the decrease of violence against civilians during and after the end of hostilities.
