Material A.Morgenshterna in which the author expresses his opinion about the bill curious Nosovka GS. “About PMC”
With the network end of last year there was a series of publications about the appearance of private military companies in Russia and Ukraine. Caused by these publications to Russian bill GS. Nosovka from 22.10.2014 "On the private military and security companies". Formed a kind of media the rise of the topic, This is easily seen, scoring PMC tag in a Google search. Commenting on the case, and not all sorts of bloggers, writers, Media and "media" pile up a whole bunch of different things related to PMC. Well, let's deal. Let's start with the good so to speak ..., and most importantly a friendly.
so, the text of the draft law "On private military and security companies". This law certainly imperfect, as well as all legal norms, associated with PMC. By itself violence, carried out for the money - it's like whatever you call, but not a very good thing. And then there is a need to give it a moral and legal justification. That is not very nice. But this, certainly, Not only, and not so much Russian, but above all the world practice. Unfortunately.
Estimated Act PMC, by the way, severe enough, Unlike a number of reference and non-binding international agreements in respect of PMCs.
Under the bill, any private military or security company is accountable to the FSB.
bill GS. Nosovka differentiates PMC on Russian and foreign. Russian PMCs belong to the citizens of Russia, respectively and foreign citizens of other countries. Nevertheless, the law requires, that regulate the activities of both the Russian Federation will be the same.
The bill is not very good lists the types of activities of PMCs. (This disadvantage is inherent in all attempts to somehow summarize the list of PMC services, it is too diverse.) Namely:
1. Private military and security companies can provide services to military, security and (or) advisory nature.
2. For military services include:
1) mine clearance, buildings, structures;
2) armed escort of ships in case of attack;
3) mediation and alternative dispute armed conflicts outside the Russian Federation.
3. By the nature of the security services:
1) protection of state institutions, military facilities, commercial vessels, senior officials;
2) column tracking, convoys;
3) unarmed escort commercial and civil courts;
4) Equipment vessel passive safety equipment;
5) installation of means of identification of goods;
6) implementation security check and counter-art.
4. By the nature of the services include consulting:
1) provision of military interpreters;
2) training of the security forces;
3) facility security assessment;
4) Military service consulting.
At first, striking oil-Maslen Consulting Consulting. it, apparently, technical glitch. Not clear criteria for the classification of services. So the "protection of the military facility" and "unarmed security of the ship" are still different services. It is impossible to generalize these services with the "protection of senior officials", as it is a much more complex activity. Do not have explained to (In our opinion it is natural) content of measures to "alternative settlement of armed conflicts".
Registered explicitly prohibit the following activities:
1) overthrowing the government or undermining the constitutional order of a State;
2) undermining the territorial integrity of the state;
3) sale of weapons without a license;
4) the seizure of foreign territory.
While all of this stems from a variety of international instruments, but spelled, It seems again to "fix".
The law also aims to protect the right of Russian contractors abroad. It involves the work of foreign PMSCs in the Russian Federation in the form of representative offices and branches. The law will oblige both Russian, and domestic companies to disclose economic reports. To control commissions PMC will provide information on their respective states, documentation, and including. disclose information, commercial secrets. FSB will publish a register of licensed PMCs and provide the public with basic information about these companies. In principle, it would be an analogue ICOC. It will also publish an annual analytical report on the activities of PMCs, which is in the public domain. This will be useful for the independent study of private military companies.
In accordance with the law, PMSCs have in Russia will have three years to bring their activities in the relevant legislation, regulations.
The bill requires and economic requirement for the creation of PMC, the subject of the authorized capital shall not be less than one hundred million rubles (about 1,7 million. $).
It is also important, that the law requires PMCs involved in export of arms and other military goods industry. Detailed PMC's participation in arms exports is not registered. The emphasis on this, we do not completely in vain. The reasons for this we will write in the near future. This is an extremely entertaining story.
here, in brief, what we are dealing.
Very sensible analysis of the issue of the bill of PMCs can be found here, Article Russian expert BG. Chicky.
Let us point out the main points of Boris G., we basically agree:
1. Russian legislation does not apply to legislation in other countries. Adoption of the PMCs in fact the law or does not affect the activity of the Russian PMCs in other countries.
2. PMC - a commercial organization, whose main goal - profit.
3. Among the employees of private military companies are many former specialists from the armed forces and other state security agencies of different countries. It leaves its mark on their work, as the "former" in these matters does not happen.
4. From the article BG. Chikin conclusion is, that the interests of the Russian state and Russian business is not always the same, not at all clear what proportion of the state and business will act as the main partner of Russian PMCs.
Law of Ukraine commented on the various "experts" like a certain Cyril Sazonov, pile up a bunch of stupid. for example, He told Sazonov, In the United States PMC controlled society. it's there, where there are entire portals of human rights violations, contractors only one PMC. I would like to, to such "experts" as Sazonov spoke with Katherine Bolkovak, and dozens ukrainskihmaterey, whose girls were taken from Ukraine and torture amerikanskieveterany of PMC "DynCorp». would have discovered these "experts" old Ukrainian military officialdom "Camouflage" but would have watched article SBU officer Dmitry Vedeneyeva, dedicated to the American PMCs. After that, I would not write nonsenses.
There are some news and how, that in Ukraine, want to pass a similar law. The initiative came from the Dmitry Yarosh. Ukraine already has various private military companies, some of them are working in co-operation with Russia. Work and very large private companies. (More about that - in an old article). Actions ideological fascist party always alarming. What, we'll see, which Jaros bill offer.
Repeat and clarify.
1. Private military companies - are commercial enterprises. They profit, performing various acts of organized violence and its related case. How to earn the first and the largest PMCs? (In details - here).
First of all, this:
a) parasitism on the state budget and the implementation of services at inflated prices;
b) illegal predatory exploitation of energy and natural resources, or facilitate this;
at) participation in actions, on the verge of or beyond the right, of morality.
After that, should be a rhetorical question, both in the direction of Russia, and the Ukrainian public. Would you like domestic analogue something like? We think and hope, that there is.
2. PMCs have the opportunity to act beyond the rules. Despite the scandals, initiative on the settlement of rights in respect of PMCs, it should be recognized, that "nothing has changed". For Ukrainian nationalists PMC will be a way of legalization of crime. The law of the PMC will be a fig leaf for the Russian government in its symmetrical response to the activities of US (English and so on.) PMC in hotspots. But whether the case be limited to the use of PMCs for single shares abroad? And if any of them at least some sense?
After all, foreign companies are not banned from working in the Russian Federation. And in extreme cases give three years to, these corporations led its branches "in order". The, on, that "we will have their own PMC", if the right under the noses are G4S, Torch Stone Page, MPRI, whose people have worked in Yugoslavia, Georgia and Ukraine, PMCs and Russian at the same time cooperate with the Ukrainian? The most famous and successful commercially PMCs have been convicted of terrible crimes, in t. no. against the citizens of Ukraine and Russia, as well as the ethnic Russian and Ukrainian. Do I have to follow the trail of such organizations?
The same pseudo-expert K. Sazonov referred to the opinion of the Russian Armed Forces, General Yuri Baluyevsky Army, who took part in the presentation of the book by J.. Скэйхилла «Black Water: the most powerful mercenary army in the world ". YU. Baluyevsky rights in respect of, that PMC - a business product, he is right and that, that PMC - is a tool of big business. Negative example General saw in the US in the activities of PMCs and Ukrainian oligarch Kolomoisky. But this, for some reason, an "expert" Sazonov did not remember.
And finally, let's say, that it is necessary to fight not against the American PMCs in the interests of "Gazprom", and against the practice of mercenary military force. in this case, "Fight fire" is not the most appropriate method. The thing is, against the background of a very serious illness of Ukrainian society, frightening symptoms in Russian society. This statement and. Strelkova about, Fascism - it's quite even nothing, A phrase. Zakharchenko about respect for the "right sector". Unpleasant and support of Internet users in the idea of a Russian PMCs, etc.. (Until now, no one community in social networks, where the series would be analyzed and criticized the work of private military companies). Generally, you can not fight with Ukrainian fascism using Russian fascism. The same applies to the PMC. Indeed, in some magical way the Soviet Union was able to resist the special operations of the same United States in various regions of the planet. How did it manage to without PMC?
