Corporate beneficiaries during times of armed conflict

Abstract

This research examines the economic, legal, and ethical implications of corporate profiteering from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, with a focus on the strategies used by private sector actors and their adherence to domestic and international legal frameworks. Through a doctrinal research approach, the study analyzes international and national legislation governing the behavior of private sector actors during armed conflicts. Key objectives include assessing the economic impact of sanctions against Russia, evaluating international legal frameworks, and examining challenges in enforcing national legislation relevant to the private sector during conflicts. The findings underscore the need for robust oversight and accountability measures to regulate the behavior of private contractors, particularly in conflict zones. The study contributes to understanding the complex interplay of economic sanctions, private military and security firms, and international legal frameworks in conflict scenarios.
