It was supported by a grant from the Volkswagen Stiftung of the Federal Republic of Germany. The introductory chapter by the editors presents a scenario for a possible future European security system. Six essays by active NATO and WTO military officers focus on the role of military forces in such a system. Various approaches to the tasks and size of military forces in this regime of strict non-provocative defence are presented with the intent of providing new ideas for the debate on restructuring of forces in Europe.

HUNGARY How to Become a Military Officer in the Hungarian Defence Forces: The basic education of the Hungarian Defence Forces’ (Army and Air Force) officers is joint and provided by a unique institution: the National University of Public Service (NUPS). Within the NUPS the Faculty of Military Science and Officer Training is responsible for the military officers’ training. The basic curriculum is the bachelor. However, the National University of Public Service offers the possibility for the Hungarian officers to complete master studies in the course of their career and doctoral studies also. The basic curriculum of the officers dedicates an important share to the vocational training, which is provided by the University. The training, indeed, fully counts in the curriculum since it is also allocated with ECTS and, therefore, is an integral part of the diploma.

Switzerland's Commentary on Operationalizing the Guiding
Switzerland’s commentary on operationalizing the guiding principles at a national level, as requested by the Chair of the 2020 Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) on Emerging Technologies in the Area of Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) within the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) Switzerland sees the eleven guiding principles as an important consolidation of basic understandings on emerging technologies in the area of LAWS among the High Contracting Parties (HCP). The principles can guide current and future work in the multilateral context, notably the consideration and development of the normative and operational framework in the GGE. In addition, HCP may consider their operationalization at the national level, notably in the context of complying with international humanitarian law (IHL) rules and satisfying ethical concerns in the context of these emerging technologies. Switzerland holds the view that human control is necessary to ensure IHL-conformity. Such human control can be applied at various stages of the life cycle of an autonomous weapon system (AWS), including the design phase. Switzerland is also of the opinion that the actual decision to deploy an AWS and the assessments and decisions regarding its use in a specific attack remain eminently critical touch points in the human-machine interaction and must be retained within a responsible (military) chain of human command and control with structures and processes that ensure IHL-conform decisions in the use of force, including AWS. Switzerland holds that an AWS would run contrary to guiding principle A and would be unlawful: if 1) the outcomes cannot be reasonably predicted, or; 2) the effects cannot be limited in accordance with IHL or 3) the system otherwise cannot be used in accordance with IHL. -
Trilingual Education in Switzerland*
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Trilingual education in Switzerland* CLAUDINE BROHY Abstract The Swiss Confederation is known for its historical multilingualism. The four national languages are, however, unequally distributed among its in- habitants. Individual foreign-language competence, including English, also varies strongly. The educational system reflects cantonal di¤erences. The article distinguishes between strong, intermediate, and weak forms of trilin- gual education. The strong form can be found at university level, the inter- mediate form includes all bilingual models with a course in one additional language, and the weak form is found frequently, in particular, in secondary education. A new model of multilingualism emerges with two national lan- guages, plus English. Research has thus far dealt mainly with the outcomes of bilingual education, but in the near future will focus more on the di¤er- ences between second- and third-language learning and the outcomes of tri- lingual education. 1. Introduction For centuries or even millennia, the territory of what is now called Swit- zerland has lain at a crossroads of di¤erent languages and cultures. The indigenous Celtic population was overwhelmed by the Roman army at the time of Christ’s birth, like the rest of Europe, which led to the Romanization of the region. As the Germanic invasions swept over the territory, from the sixth century AD on, the Alamans contributed to the development of a German-speaking population living alongside the Romance communities, which emerged from the contact of the former population with the Romans. -
