... And a conference on Private Military Companies

As a quick follow up to my earlier post, a conference that may be of interest to readers - particularly Francophone readers - of the GAL blog has been brought to my attention:

Colloque
Université d’Auvergne - Faculté de droit de Clermont-Ferrand
Lucrum in bello:
Les entreprises militaires et de sécurité privées dans le monde contemporain
Clermont-Ferrand
4-5 mars 2010

The full programme is available here (and here). There is clearly much that will be of real interest from a GAL perspective, with individual sessions on "le cadre juridique des entreprises militaires et de sécurité privées" and "les questions de responsabilité naissant de l'activité des entreprises militaires et de sécurité privées" (both of the Companies themselves and of the entities that make us of them); and a round table on the issue of "Quel contrôle exercer sur les entreprises militaires et de sécurité privées?".

As far as I can see, registration is free - just contact christiane.baroukh@u-clermont1.fr. Looks like a very interesting event, for those linguistically and geographically able...
