2008年9月17日，包括美国、联合王国、中国、法国、伊拉克、阿富汗、塞拉利昂和南非在内的17个国家批准了“蒙特勒文件”，确认了各国在武装冲突期间与私营军事和安保公司业务有关的法律的义务，并介绍了良好做法。本文提供了一个内部人士对蒙特勒文件3年谈判的看法，概述了其条款及其意义，并探讨了其条款与现行法律和新兴商业与人权框架之间的关系。最后，报告探讨了《蒙特勒文件》是否可为改进私营军事和安保公司活动的标准和问责制提供依据。
On 17 September 2008, 17 states including the United States, UK, China, France, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone and South Africa endorsed the ‘Montreux Document’ affirming the legal obligations and describing good practices for states related to operations of private military and security companies during armed conflict. This article provides an insider's view of the 3 years of negotiation of the Montreux Document, provides an overview of its provisions and their significance, and explores the relationship between its provisions and existing law and emerging business and human rights frameworks. Finally, it explores whether the Montreux Document may provide the basis for improved standards and accountability in the activities of private military and security companies.
