Although governments have the primary role of maintaining law and order, security and respect for human rights, Companies have an interest in ensuring that actions taken by governments, particularly the actions of public security providers, are consistent with the protection and promotion of human rights. In cases where there is a need to supplement security provided by host governments, Companies may be required or expected to contribute to, or otherwise reimburse, the costs of protecting Company facilities and personnel borne by public security. While public security is expected to act in a manner consistent with local and national laws as well as with human rights standards and international humanitarian law, within this context abuses may nevertheless occur.
In an effort to reduce the risk of such abuses and to promote respect for human rights generally, we have identified the following voluntary principles to document relationships between Companies and public security regarding security provided to Companies:
Security Arrangements
Companies should consult regularly with host governments and local communities about the impact of their security arrangements on those communities.
Companies should communicate their policies regarding ethical conduct and human rights to public security providers, and express their desire that security be provided in a manner consistent with those policies by personnel with adequate and effective training.
Companies should encourage host governments to permit making security arrangements transparent and accessible to the public, subject to any overriding safety and security concerns.

Bien que les gouvernements remplissent une fonction essentielle dans le maintien de l'ordre public, de la sécurité et du respect des droits de l'homme, les Entreprises ont intérêt à s’assurer que les mesures prises par les gouvernements, en particulier les activités des entités de sécurité publique, soient conformes aux principes de protection et de promotion des droits de l’homme. Dans les cas où il est nécessaire de complémenter la sécurité fournie par les gouvernements d’accueil, l’on peut exiger ou attendre des Entreprises qu’elles contribuent aux frais de protection des installations et du personnel des Entreprises par la sécurité publique ou qu’elles remboursent ces frais. Bien que la sécurité publique soit tenue d’agir en conformité aux lois locales et nationales ainsi qu’aux normes des droits de l’homme et du droit international humanitaire, dans ce contexte, des abus peuvent se produire.
Dans le souci de réduire les risques de tels abus et de favoriser le respect des droits de l’homme en général, nous avons identifié les principes volontaires suivants pour guider les relations entre les Entreprises et la sécurité publique en matière de sécurité fournie à celles-ci :
Dispositions de sécurité
Les Entreprises devraient être en contact régulier avec les gouvernements d’accueil et les communautés locales au sujet de l'impact de leurs dispositions de sécurité sur lesdites communautés.
Les Entreprises devraient communiquer aux fournisseurs de sécurité publique leurs politiques concernant la conduite morale et les droits de l’homme et exprimer leur souhait que la sécurité soit conforme à ces politiques et fournie par un personnel formé efficacement et de façon adéquate.
Les Entreprises devraient encourager les gouvernements d’accueil à autoriser l’exécution d’ententes de sécurité transparentes et accessibles au public, en considérant toutefois les préoccupations essentielles en matière de sûreté et de sécurité.
