The prohibition of mercenary activities at the international legal level
makes the activities of private military companies the object of meticulous
attention by the international community. Existing trends in the widespread
involvement of private military and security enterprises (PMSE) in military
and security functions both in the context of armed conflict (AR) and outside
of it determine the need for legal regulation of their activities at the national
and international levels, creation of legal mechanisms aimed at ensuring the
protection of human rights and victims of AR.
The indicated problems are also due to the fact that existing gaps in
international law facilitate the use of mercenaries, increase their number,
contribute to the emergence of new ways of recruiting them, and states must
not only ratify or join the International Convention against the Recruitment,
Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries, but also adhere to its provisions.

At the international and national level, the issue of
legalization and legal regulation of private military companies activity
becomes relevant in conditions of constant armed conflicts. According to the
International Crisis Group, the top ten armed conflicts in 2020 include the
following conflicts: Table 1.
Let’s note that in the majority of these conflicts participation of
mercenaries from different parts of the world, including members of private
military companies is recorded. Thus, as of August 2020, according to the
information of the Office of the Prosecutor General, more than 100 criminal
cases were brought in Ukraine against foreign mercenaries (citizens of
Bulgaria, Armenia, Georgia, Italy, Spain, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Moldova,
the Netherlands, Germany) participating in a military conflict on the side of protection of their property, etc. necessitated legal settlement. Participants of
mercenary relations belonged to different types of legal systems and legislation systems.
The Research Purpose is to study international and legal regulation
of mercenary activities and prototypes of private military enterprises in
historical perspective.
