Presidential elections were held in Afghanistan. From NOVACT, we highlight the importance of paying attention to the role that Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs) play in this context.

The Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law will convene a global group of academics, activists, and experts in the private military and security industry on Tuesday, Dec. 3 at American University Washington College of Law to share the findings of their report, ‘Montreux Five Years On’.

An analysis based on a case study on the use and activities of PMSCs and focused on how territorial states where these companies operate, as Afghanistan, are responding to the challenge of the regulation and control of these armed groups.
