Lawrence Gist – LA County Foreign Policy Examiner
The United Nations Working Group on the use of mercenaries as a means of violating human rights and impeding the exercise of the rights of peoples to self-determination will carry out an official visit to the United States of America from July 20 to August 3, 2009.
“This visit comes at a moment where, I believe, the United States Government is seriously considering options to ensure adequate oversight and monitoring for private military and security companies (PMSCs) contracted by the United States government and operating abroad,” said the group’s Chairperson-Rapporteur, Shaista Shameem.
“It is crucial that the United States Government, as a major client of these companies, demonstrates its commitment to ensure full accountability of private military and security contractors for any possible violations of international human rights and humanitarian law,” added Shameem, who will be joined during the visit by José Luis Gomez del Prado, another member of the Working Group.
