Private military contractors (PMCs) are the source of military might for countries that do not have a capable forces. PMCs provide combat resources in exchange for pay, and they are a gray area in International Humanitarian Laws. Contractors are frequently enlisted by many member states of the United Nations, and sometimes by the United Nations themselves. The General Assembly Sixth Committee must define and regulate theses PMCs.
But PMCs have come under inspection as sentiment changes regarding their status as combatants. One proposed solution to this issue, The Anarchy Plan (Draft Resolution 1.4), attempts to respect international sovereignty. The countries within this working block believe that the prohibition of PMCs could ensure future global stability, according to the delegate of Egypt.
As voting nears, the Legal Committee holds potential ground for halting the use of private military contractors in many regions.

In place of PMCs, The delegate of Japan advocates for implementation of education programs to teach the next generation about the importance of cybersecurity. Due to an ever growing increase in cyber warfare, many small nations who are technologically vulnerable have a chance to defend themselves against oppression without using PMCs.
