33、gn and implementation of quality assurance plans, procedures, and practices should take into account the particular requirements of each organization and their clients. 0.2 Respect for Human Rights and Legal Obligations PMSCs assist clients by providing deterrence and protective measures for the pro

34、tection of personnel as well as the ship and its operations in accordance with the contract. In addition to the role played by PMSCs, state forces are involved in the suppression of piracy and counter-piracy operations, including the detainment and prosecution of pirates. Armed response or use of fi

35、rearms and other weapons as a response should be avoided in preference to protective and deterrence measures, including those described in current good management practices for ships, which are applicable wherever piracy and armed assault present a threat. Appropriate protective and defensive measur

36、es by onboard PMSCs is paramount, with less-than-lethal or non-lethal options used first, and the use of firearms and other weapons or armed response being used as a measure of last resort. In providing protection, the PMSC is governed by various laws, regulations, and ethical norms associated with

37、the use of force. PMSCs should take account of the relevant and applicable international, national, coastal and flag state laws and local statutory and regulatory law, in establishing their rules for the use of force, recognizing the individuals inherent right to self-defense. Because clients and th

38、eir security teams have the obligation to comply with legal and ANSI/ASIS PSC.4-2013 xiii regulatory requirements, the provisions for rules for the use of force should be set out in the contract between the client and the PMSC, which should also specify the unambiguous rules to apply for a specific

39、transit in terms of the laws of the flag and coastal states of the ship which are relevant to the ships operations. The contract should specify that measures to assure the safety and security of the ship and those on board must be proportionate, that primary emphasis should be placed on deterrence a

40、nd if force is necessary, there should be a graduated approach. Provisions in the contract should consider: a) Compliance with applicable and relevant provisions of international law, international maritime law, and law of the sea; b) Laws and regulations of national, coastal and flag states; and c)

41、 International employment law and conventions. The ANSI/ASIS PSC.1-2012 makes reference to the Montreux Document (2008) which encapsulates relevant rules of international law and good practices for PSC operations during armed conflicts The ICoC provides principles for PSCs to abide by in regions of

42、weakened governance and disaster areas. Though the ICoC does not specifically address the maritime environment, the principles on which it rests, including respect for human rights, are applicable in the maritime environment. Therefore, clients and PMSCs have a shared responsibility to assure confor

43、mance with the principles on which the ICoC rests2. Therefore, in applying this Standard, key concepts should be considered as follows: a) Respect for human rights; b) Respect for relevant and applicable principles of international maritime law and law of the sea, as well as the relevant and applica

44、ble principles articulated in international humanitarian and human rights law; c) Respect for the applicable and relevant international, national, coastal and flag state, and local statutory and regulatory laws associated with the ship, those on board the ship, its cargo and the legitimate and appro

45、priate employment of persons; d) Measures to assure the security and safety of the ship and those on board are proportional to the level of risk; e) Non-violent and non-lethal measures should be applied first; and f) When taking steps to deter or dissuade hostile action against the ship or those on

46、board, such responses should use the minimum force necessary. This standard, used in conjunction with the ANSI/ASIS PSC.1-2012, can help PMSCs to demonstrate to clients that they can provide services that are reliable, professional, and consistent with the ICoC. Furthermore, it provides a framework

47、for PMSCs to define their operations within the maritime environment where legal requirements are complex. 2The Montreux document restates rules of international law and provides a set of good practices for States and their obligations to ensure that private military and security companies operating

48、 in circumstances of armed conflict comply with international humanitarian and human rights law. Though the Montreux document does not address the maritime environment, the good practices for contracting states, described in Part Two of the Montreux Document, should be considered as guidance by clie

49、nts in their contracting practices with PMSCs. ANSI/ASIS PSC.4-2013 xiv 0.3 Authorities, Obligations, and Responsibilities of Ship Master and Clients The shipmaster (Master) has the ultimate responsibility for the security and safety of the ship, those on board, its cargo, and command of the ship. The decisions of the Master are expected to be guided by those that possess appropriate knowledge, skills, experience, and training. Therefore, the Master has the overall authority and responsibility to make decisions with respect to the safety and security of the ship an
