摘要

The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office on 12 February issued a long-awaited Green Paper entitled "Private Military Companies -Options for Regulation". The study was undertaken in response to a request from the House of Commons Select Committee for Foreign Affairs to investigate how private military companies (PMCs) operating from the UK might be regulated. The Green Paper has come in the wake of the 1998 'Arms-to-Africa' affair in which the UK government was implicated. Sierra Leone was under a UN arms embargo, which the PMC Sandline was alleged to have broken by providing forces of the exiled government with 28 tons of small arms from Bulgaria. The UK government fell under suspicion when it was alleged that the British High Commissioner to Sierra Leone had supported the aid. This led to a wider investigation of governments' use of PMCs and an effort, at least in the UK, to try to modernise the regulation of these types of organisations. When the private sector wants to sell military skills, alarm bells always start to ring. The activities of PMCs during the civil war in Sierra Leone fully illustrate the pros and cons of employing privatised military organisations in areas of conflict.
