A/HRC/27/50 military services abroad nor contain relevant jurisdiction provisions or clauses regarding extraterritorial application. 3. Licensing, authorization and registration of PSCs 25. The laws of Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tunisia12 provide for authorizations and licences to be granted by or registered with the ministry responsible for internal security. In other countries, it is an intergovernmental body under the ministry in charge of internal security or the local government that is responsible for licensing and monitoring PSC activities.13 Morocco’s law provides for a “competent administrative authority” in charge of reviewing the requests for authorization, but does not specify further responsibilities or the relationship with a supervising or monitoring ministry or other government body. 26. As a precondition for granting a licence, Burkina Faso requires a “review of the moral standards of the company’s managers”, while in Senegal, the authority in charge of authorizing private security activities conducts an “investigation of the moral standards” of the applicant, and in Tunisia, potential employees of PSCs must “be known to be of good behaviour.”14 Nowhere is reference to human rights standards or training stated as being a prerequisite for managers or personnel in order for a PSC to obtain authorization for a licence. 27. With regard to national registration of PSCs, only Cameroonian law requires the relevant authority to “maintain a national record of security companies”.15 Morocco has a self-registration system that obliges PSCs to establish and maintain an internal registry of the identity of employees and other data necessary for monitoring their activities16 and Tunisian law contains a similar provision, obliging the holder of the authorization to keep a register within the Ministry of the Interior.17 Legislation of the remaining countries do not make any reference to national or self-registration systems. 4. Selection and training of PSC personnel 28. The criteria for selecting PSC personnel indicate that a clean criminal record is a high priority in the States analysed.18 However, the related provisions vary with regard to the gravity of the offence. For example, in Burkina Faso, no one shall be a director or manager of a security company, if he or she was “sentenced to mandatory imprisonment of three (3) months or a suspended sentence of more than six (6) months for a crime or 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 8 Burkina Faso, Law No. 032/033, art. 24, and Decree No. 343/2009, art. 20; Côte d’Ivoire, Decree No. 2005-73, arts. 4, 14, 34 and 36, and Decree No. 150/2007, art. 4; Mali, Decree No. 96-064, arts. 2 and 6; Democratic Republic of the Congo, Decree No. 31/1965, art. 2; Tunisia, Decree No. 2003-1090, arts. 1 and 2, and Decree No. 2002-81, art. 4. In Cameroon, a commission under the supervision of the Ministry for Local Government reviews authorization requests; in Senegal, the request for authorization is submitted for review to a consultative committee whose composition is determined by a decree of the Minister of the Interior.
