At BPS Security, we believe in removing the gray areas that often cloud the private security industry. As private military and security companies (PMSCs) become more involved in tasks traditionally carried out by armed forces, significant questions arise regarding the application of international humanitarian law (IHL).
The Rise of Private Military and Security Companies
In recent years, the recruitment of PMSCs for military operations has surged, leading to what some call the “privatization” of war. These companies are now engaged in activities ranging from protecting military personnel and assets to training armed forces, maintaining weapon systems, interrogating detainees, and even participating in combat.
Ethical Concerns and Blurred Lines
The ethical problem lies in the blurred line between civilian private security officers, who are there to protect, and military combatants. These positions are fundamentally opposed, creating confusion and ethical dilemmas. At BPS Security, we are committed to maintaining clear distinctions and ensuring our practices align with the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
Commitment to Clarity and Integrity
At BPS Security, we prioritize clarity and integrity in all our operations. By upholding stringent standards and clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of our security personnel, we aim to foster trust and safety in every environment we serve.
