The Sarajevo Code of Conduct for Private Security Companies (SEESAC, 2006)

The Sarajevo Code of Conduct is, together with the Sarajevo Client Guidelines, the product of the Sarajevo Process, which was aimed to enhance the conduct and regulation of the private security industry across South Eastern Europe. The Code of Conduct “contains a set of basic principles of professional behavior and service delivery for application by all employers and employees in the private security sector.” The developed basic principles cover a wide range of private security areas, regardless of location, including, for instance, recruitment of workers, vocational training, and relations with public security. The principles are based on international standards such as the VPs and the UN Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials.
