Reporting to: Executive Director

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 a Code of Conduct (the Code) for private security companies operating in complex environments. The Code seeks to strengthen respect for human rights and international humanitarian law, while raising operational standards across the private security industry. ICoCA’s membership comprises states, private security companies, and civil society organisations. These three pillars together form the Association’s General Assembly, with each pillar equally represented on ICoCA’s Board of Directors.
