International Code of Conduct Association (ICoCA)

The International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers’ Association (ICoCA), founded in September 2013, is a multi-stakeholder initiative created to promote, govern and oversee the implementation of the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers (‘the Code’). ICoCA focuses on the activities of companies performing security services – including when operating in complex and otherwise high risk, unstable or fragile environments, where there is a greater risk of human rights abuses, violations of international humanitarian law and civilian harm. ICoCA’s mission is to raise private security industry standards and practices that respect human rights and international humanitarian law and to engage with key stakeholders to achieve widespread adherence to its Code globally.
