- Definition person or entity (state, group, force or militia) which a sponsor uses as an agent in order to indirectly achieve its objectives in a conflict Reference "Council-EN based on:- Wither, J., ‘Outsourcing warfare: Proxy forces in contemporary armed conflicts’, Security and Defence Quarterly, 4/2020 Vol. 31, 2020, pp. 17-34- Moghadam, A., Wyss, M., ‘The Political Power of Proxies Why Nonstate Actors Use Local Surrogates’, International Security, President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Vol. 44, No. 4 (Spring 2020), pp. 119–157, 2020"
- Comment "Often the sponsor backs local forces or uses militias and mercenaries to avoid direct involvement. The hierarchy is often referred to as between a 'sponsor' and 'proxy'. Although proxy forces have typically been understood as military forces being used by a state sponsor outside its conventional armed or security forces, some non-state actors now also play sponsorship roles. The term ‘proxies’ can also be used to refer to people in positions of power or influence acting in the interests of the sponsor, as in, for instance, the 'Russian Elites, Proxies, and Oligarchs Task Force'."
