Privatisation of Public Security

A. Public security forces providing security for company personnel, operations and assets: balancing the security of the company’s operations with the security of local communities

Good Practices

(see Impacts of company operations on the security of communities – Working with Communities).

  • Develop principles for relations between security forces protecting a project site and the neighbouring communities, clearly setting out roles and responsibilities of public and private security.

(see Relationship between public and private security – Working with Private Security Providers).

Practical Tools

(see Impacts of company operations on the security of communities  – Working with Communities).

  • Clarify the purpose of security arrangements during community consultations, referring to the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.
  • Establish mechanisms that enable communities to voice their concerns on security arrangements (e.g. through local in-country working groups on security and human rights).
  • Ensure all vulnerable groups are included in these discussions.
