IPOA Statement Regarding the Membership Status of Blackwater
USA
We have received notification from Blackwater USA that they are
formally withdrawing from the membership of the International Peace
Operations Association, effective October 10, 2007.
Blackwater USA joined IPOA in August 2004 and was a member in good
standing.
In recent weeks, IPOA was actively engaged with senior management
at Blackwater USA, both through our Standards Committee and our
Executive Committee, to ensure that they were fully compliant with
the IPOA Code of Conduct. On October 8, 2007 the IPOA Executive
Committee authorized the Standards Committee to initiate an
independent review process of Blackwater USA to ascertain whether
Blackwater USA's processes and procedures were fully sufficient to
ensure compliance with the IPOA Code of Conduct.
All IPOA member companies are required to follow the IPOA Code of
Conduct. The Code of Conduct is a set of ethical and professional
guidelines for companies in the peace and stability operations
industry. The Code stresses human rights, corporate ethics,
International Humanitarian Law, transparency, accountability, and
responsibility and professionalism in relationships with employees,
clients, and partner companies.
