Abstract

Private Military-Security Companies (PMSC) have become a concern for the human community in the face of new phenomena in armed conflicts. The government's responsibility to enforce violations of human rights, the legal status of their armed personnel and direct involvement in armed services, governments to regulate the activities of these companies and the elimination of their mercenary figures had caused their species.
In Montreux, Switzerland (2008), a deal was signed to improve the activities of the companies mentioned and the number of people affected by armed conflicts.
This descriptive study, from a qualitative perspective, with the question of how the international responsibility of non-profit companies has come to be seen, their performance has long been based on the assumption that they are responsible for having an international character in their violent acts, and in the case of companies, Their responsibility will also be recognized what the Montreux document seeks to do.
