Un extracto de la tesis:

In a deconstructed world where belligerents often fight in a borderless and complex operational environment without respect to conventions or rules of engagement, member states of the United Nations are confronted with a simple choice. They can either abdicate their responsibilities to actively mitigate strife under Chapter VII, Article 42 of the U.N. Charter, or meet them by augmenting their under-funded and over-burdened peacekeeping forces with private security companies (PSCs). The only remaining question of consequence in such actions is the accountability of those companies deployed to “maintain or restore international peace and security.”
