abstract = "This chapter assesses some of the human rights elements of the embryonic multi-stakeholder regulatory framework for Private Security Companies (PSCs) within the Protect Respect Remedy framework of the UN Human Rights Council{\textquoteright}s Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. It examines the human rights provisions of the Montreux Document, the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Providers (ICoC) and PSC1. It then considers the International Code of Conduct Association{\textquoteright}s (ICoCA) proposed institutional mechanisms for monitoring and compliance is excluded because they are still presently under development. The chapter explores the extent to which the human rights features of the ICoC and PSC1 certification standard can facilitate the embedding or internalisation of good human rights practice by PSCs, including business imperatives, organisational ethos, skills and capacity, decision-making processes and the wider operating environment as a method of ensuring a culture of and compliance with human rights.",
