Abstract

The phenomenon of private military companies (PMCs) is a rather controversial and ambiguous topic. Over the past thirty years, PMCs have played an increasingly important role in local wars and regional conflicts. This article deals with the causes of the emergence of PMCs, analyses their characteristics and gives legal assessments. Private military companies are just as inevitable a consequence of globalization as transnational corporations. In this regard, according to the author's assessment, PMCs will not only not cease to exist for a long time, but, on the contrary, will spread in the future. At the same time, the activities of PMCs, to the maximum extent possible, should be within the legal framework.
