A/HRC/4/42 page 24 Working Group notes that unemployment, underemployment and the precariousness of the conditions in the origin countries, invite some individuals to take these employments in spite of the excessive risks. 74. In order to clarify what the international community will accept as State responsibilities in this regard, States are encouraged to hold a round table, preceded by regional preparatory round tables, to reach a policy decision on the fundamental question regarding the monopoly by the State of the use of force. Such a round table could also serve to elucidate which controls are needed to allow PMSCs to carry out activities where the use of force is necessary. 75. The Working Group will continue to monitor a number of situations which are relevant to all aspects of its mandate, including countries used as sites for the recruitment, use, financing and training of individuals to serve in PMSCs domestically or abroad. While the initial focus of the Working Group has been to visit countries where subsidiaries of foreign-registered PMSCs were recruiting employees, the focus of the Working Group is expected to evolve to enable a comprehensive assessment of the issues pertaining to its mandate. 76. To this end, the Working Group issues the following recommendations: − The Working Group calls upon all States that have no yet done so to consider taking the necessary action to accede to or ratify the International Convention against the Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries (entered in force in 2001). It encourages States parties to introduce national level legislation against mercenarism, through introducing and adopting specific provisions in the national criminal codes, or to introduce separate legislation on mercenaries. The Working Group also invites Member States to consider also regional standards for possible incorporation in domestic legislation, notably where such instruments are adopted by subregional organizations, as is the case with African Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Economic Community of West African States; − The Working Group recommends the urgent need to embark on a process of determining the future of the monopoly of States on the use of force, and suggests a process of regional preparatory round tables during 2007 to lead to a global round table in 2008; − The Working Group urges States to meet the challenge of regulating and attributing the responsibility that arises from the structure and transnational nature of the PMSC industry and its global reach, as well as the exponential growth of the numbers and activities of PMSCs in different regions. To this end, the Working Group urges States to avoid granting blanket immunity, leading to effective impunity, to PMSCs and their personnel; − The Working Group recommends thresholds of permissible activities, enhanced regulation and oversight of PMSCs at the national levels, including the establishment of regulatory systems of registration and licensing of PMSCs and
