AGA 2021 DEC 8 PLENARY PANEL – WORKING CONDITIONS IN THE PRIVATE SECURITY INDUSTRY

The ability of private security companies to carry out contracts and deliver protection that respects human rights and international humanitarian law is contingent on recruitment standards, the training they provide and the working conditions of their staff. This panel of experts in the field of labour and private security examines key questions regarding this topic, including:

• What are the working conditions of guards across the industry today?
• How do the working rights of guards today affect their human rights but also the rights of their constituencies?
• How can fair price and fair treatment in exchange for quality and security become incentivised in the industry?
