Switzerland 2019 Crime & Safety Report: Geneva Switzerland 2019 Crime & Safety Report: Geneva This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Switzerland at Level 1, indicating travelers should exercise normal precautions. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The American Citizens’ Services unit (ACS) cannot recommend a particular individual or location, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Review OSAC’s Switzerland-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is moderate risk from crime in Geneva. Geneva is a relatively safe city, but criminal activity can occur. Most crimes are non-violent and involve petty theft, pickpocketing, or burglary. Drug- related offenses are also common, but generally do not involve violence. There is a general increase in the number of criminal incidents reported in Geneva and Vaud cantons. Rates of violent crime across both cantons are lower than cities of similar size and demographics. According to the latest (2017) crime statistics for the canton of Geneva, there was a 1% increase in the number of reported vehicle thefts (cars: 246; motorcycles: 1,210; bicycles and other vehicles: 3,077), a 7.5% increase in the number of reported burglaries (4,874 cases), and a 15% decrease in the number of reported pickpocketing incidents (3,494 cases). There was one murder (6 cases reported in 2016), a 50% increase number of reported kidnappings (15 cases), and a 15% decrease in the number of reported sexual assaults (416 cases). The total number of reported “thefts with violence” increased by 13% (315 cases). According to the latest (2017) crime statistics for the canton of Vaud, the number of reported pickpocketing incidents was almost the same as in 2016 (2,114 cases), the number of reported vehicle thefts saw a 9% increase (cars: 171; motorcycles: 396; bicycles and other vehicles: 1,999), and there was a 29% decrease in the number of reported burglaries (5,825 cases). There was an equal number of murders (3 cases), a 180% decrease in reported kidnappings (5 cases), and a 7% decrease in the number of reported sexual assaults (627 cases). The total number of reported “thefts with violence” decreased by 28% (199 cases this year and 280 last year). 1 Geneva is the second largest city in Switzerland (after Zurich). As in any larger city, remain alert for pickpockets, confidence scams, and other attempts to steal mobile phones, laptops, tablets, wallets, purses, bags, or backpacks in public areas, such as: Lake Geneva's promenade; Vicinity of the Jardin Anglais/Mont Blanc Bridge; Large shopping areas (such as Rue de Rive); Plainpalais area (open market); Gare Cornavin train station; Geneva International Airport, including the train station at the airport; Les Paquis area; Public transportation (trams, trains, buses); Checking into/out of hotels; and Restaurants Pickpockets tend to use aggressive, but not assaultive, tactics. They often work in groups and attempt to distract their victims by dropping something or creating a diversion. Pickpockets also masquerade as street performers or other tourists. Stealth pickpockets are also common. In general, travel in groups, carry only enough money/credit cards to make a purchase, maintain copies of credits cards and identity documents in a safe location, and be aware of surroundings. Switzerland still has some active organized crime elements from the following locations: Italy, particularly in money laundering; Southeast Europe (Macedonia, Albania, and Kosovo), particularly in cocaine trafficking, laundering money, migrant trafficking, extortion, and property crimes; Russia, particularly in money laundering, break-ins, and thefts; China, particularly in extortion, migrant trafficking, blackmail, credit cards, drugs, arms, prostitution, and illegal gambling; and West and North Africa, particularly false documents, cocaine trafficking, and fraud. Cybersecurity Issues The Swiss Government has not released formal statistics on cybercrime since 2015, but newsletters and other information on cyber trends are available through their Reporting and Analysis Center for Information Assurance (MELANI). In 2014, the Swiss Cybercrime Coordination Unit (CYCO) received 10,214 suspicious activity reports on cybercrime via the online reporting form. This is an increase of 10.9% over 2013 (9,208 reports). Hacking and data breaches continue to be a concern in Switzerland, as cyberattacks become more sophisticated and numerous worldwide. Cybercriminals use spam and phishing e-mails to compromise victim’s online accounts and steal personal information. E-mails containing e- banking malware are also common. Variations of the malware can also capture keyboard entries and network traffic in order to steal usernames and passwords. 2 Malicious actors also target business accounts for information on payment methods and outstanding invoices. Cybercriminals use the information to send fake invoices demanding payment to a designated account. They also use false advertisements, online auctions, classified advertising websites, and fictitious real estate advertisements to perpetrate fraud. Cybercrime incidents have become increasingly professional; the grammar and spelling in phishing attempts and fraudulent e-mails are of a higher standard, and the layout and design are of a better quality. This makes it increasingly difficult for users to distinguish between genuine content and fake content. Transportation-Safety Situation For more information, review OSAC’s Report, Security in Transit: Airplanes, Public Transport, and Overnights. Road Safety and Road Conditions Switzerland offers a well-maintained network of roads. Switzerland has four official languages; travelers should be prepared for the signage to change languages throughout the country. Swiss highways are toll roads; drivers must purchase a vignette sticker (for 40 Swiss Francs), which is affixed to the inside of the windshield, to use the highway system. Vignettes are available for purchase at gas stations, post offices, or any manned vehicle border crossing. The minimum driving age is 18. Traffic laws are strictly enforced; police can impose on-the-spot fines, which, for grievous violations, can reach up to 10% of the driver’s salary. Drivers must keep headlights on at all times. Vehicles must carry third-party liability insurance. All occupants must wear safety belts. Trams, police vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, and buses always have the right of way, and pedestrians have the right-of-way at striped crosswalks. Local police have the right to perform on-the-spot breathalyzer tests; the BAC limit is .05 grams/liter (approximately one beer). Police will charge drivers with a BAC between .50-.79 g/l with a fine and could take them to jail; police could fine and arrest drivers with BAC higher than .80 g/l, as well as confiscating their Swiss driver's license for a minimum of three months. Comply with imposed safety restrictions (e.g. maintaining proper distance between vehicles and proper speed). The maximum speed limit (if not posted) is: Highway - 120 km/h; Open road - 80 km/h; In town - 50 km/h; Residential areas - 30 km/h. Due to limited resources, police prioritize their response to incidents that involve injuries. As a training tool, visitors can test their knowledge of Swiss regulations for drivers and cyclists online. For more information on self-driving, review OSAC’s Report Driving Overseas: Best Practices. 3 Public Transportation Conditions Public transportation in Geneva and throughout Switzerland is safe and reliable. However, the SBB IC train running from Bern to Geneva is a frequent target for luggage and electronic device theft. Aviation/Airport Conditions Geneva International Airport (GVA) and Zurich International Airport (ZRH) adhere to international air-safety standards, as does management of flight operations. Security measures are on par with U.S. airports. Terrorism Threat Local, Regional, and International Terrorism Threats/Concerns There is moderate risk from terrorism in Geneva. Extremists have traditionally viewed Switzerland as a place for planning, funding, and logistical support for terrorist operations, but not as a target for attack. Recent threats through Europe, however, have highlighted a new paradigm of terrorist planning and attack execution. The Schengen agreement allows free movement between member countries, which makes tracking cross-border movements of potential terrorists more difficult. In 2017, Swiss authorities arrested at least five individuals for terrorism or related offenses, according to media reports. In 2015, the Swiss Federal Council adopted a counter-terrorism strategy with the main objectives of preventing attacks in Switzerland, preventing the export of terrorism from Switzerland, and preventing Switzerland from use as a breeding ground for terrorism. In 2017, Switzerland adopted a National Action Plan (NAP) to combat radicalization and violent extremism. The NAP expands police authorities and implements new measures to investigate those suspected of extremist

    • Zug (8th) and Basel (10th) rank far ahead of Lausanne (36th), Bern (38th), Zurich (41st), Lugano (53rd), and Geneva (69th) in the Expat City Ranking 2019. • Based on the ranking, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, Montréal, Lisbon, Barcelona, Zug, The Hague, and Basel are the best cities to move to in 2020. • Kuwait City (82nd), Rome, Milan, Lagos (Nigeria), Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Lima, New York City, and Yangon (73rd) are the world’s worst cities. Munich, 3 December 2019 — Seven Swiss cities are featured in the Expat City Ranking 2019 by InterNations, the world’s largest expat community with more than 3.5 million members. They all rank among the top 20 in the world for the quality of life, receiving mostly high marks for safety, local transportation, and the environment. On the other hand, expats struggle to get settled, with Zurich and Bern even ranking among the world’s worst cities in this regard. While the local cost of living is rated negatively across the board, the performance of the Swiss cities varies more in the Finance & Housing and Urban Work Life Indices. The Expat City Ranking is based on the annual Expat Insider survey by InterNations, which is with more than 20,000 respondents in 2019 one of the most extensive surveys about living and working abroad. In 2019, 82 cities around the globe are analyzed in the survey, offering in-depth information about five areas of expat life: Quality of Urban Living, Getting Settled, Urban Work Life, Finance & Housing, and Local Cost of Living.

  • Local and Regional Democracy in Switzerland
    33 SESSION Report CG33(2017)14final 20 October 2017 Local and regional democracy in Switzerland Monitoring Committee Rapporteurs:1 Marc COOLS, Belgium (L, ILDG) Dorin CHIRTOACA, Republic of Moldova (R, EPP/CCE) Recommendation 407 (2017) .................................................................................................................2 Explanatory memorandum .....................................................................................................................5 Summary This particularly positive report is based on the second monitoring visit to Switzerland since the country ratified the European Charter of Local Self-Government in 2005. It shows that municipal self- government is particularly deeply rooted in Switzerland. All municipalities possess a wide range of powers and responsibilities and substantial rights of self-government. The financial situation of Swiss municipalities appears generally healthy, with a relatively low debt ratio. Direct-democracy procedures are highly developed at all levels of governance. Furthermore, the rapporteurs very much welcome the Swiss parliament’s decision to authorise the ratification of the Additional Protocol to the European Charter of Local Self-Government on the right to participate in the affairs of a local authority. The report draws attention to the need for improved direct involvement of municipalities, especially the large cities, in decision-making procedures and with regard to the question of the sustainability of resources in connection with the needs of municipalities to enable them to discharge their growing responsibilities. Finally, it highlights the importance of determining, through legislation, a framework and arrangements regarding financing for the city of Bern, taking due account of its specific situation. The Congress encourages the authorities to guarantee that the administrative bodies belonging to intermunicipal structures are made up of a minimum percentage of directly elected representatives so as to safeguard their democratic nature.

Sacred Spaces as Sound Spaces in the Early Modern Period International and interdisciplinary conference Conference venues: German Historical Institute in Rome (12 December, 13 December morning) Biblioteca Vallicelliana (11 December afternoon) Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (13 December afternoon) S. Maria in Vallicella (11 December evening) Apostolic Palace (14 December morning) Concept and scientific organisation: Prof. Dr. Klaus Pietschmann and Dr. Tobias C. Weißmann (Research Project “CANTORIA – Music and Sacred Architecture”, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) | German Historical Institute in Rome, Department of Music History Beginning in 15th century Italy, the polychoral musical performance practice and new compositio- nal developments in church music required the modification of venerable churches and the inte- gration of music spaces in new sacred buildings. This multifaceted change correlated with the rite and mass piety and enduringly affected the experience of liturgy and music. The most distinctive impact of this progress is epitomised by the installation of singer balconies and organ galleries on which top-class music ensembles and organists often performed and which served as stages for musical excellence. The permanent display of music advanced to become a core segment of sacred architecture while the potential of these spaces to promote identification becomes evident in numerous graffiti, as the singer pulpit in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican exemplifies. The conference explores the complex interdependencies between architecture, acoustics, musi- cal performance practice and rite in the interdisciplinary discourse between musicology, art and architecture history.

  • Switzerland in the 19Th Century
    Switzerland in the 19th century The founding of the Swiss federal state ushered in a period of greater stability as regards both domestic and foreign affairs. The revised Constitution of 1874 extended the powers of the federal government and introduced the optional legislative referendum. Switzerland developed its system of direct democracy further and in 1891 granted the people the right of initiative on the partial revision of the Federal Constitution. That same year the Catholic conservatives – the losers of the Sonderbund war – celebrated, for the first time, the election of one of its representatives to the federal government. The federal state used its new powers to create favourable conditions for the development of a number of industries and service sectors (railways, machine construction and metalworking, chemicals, food industry and banking). These would become the mainstays of the Swiss economy. Not everyone in Switzerland reaped the benefits of the economic upturn. In the 19th century poverty, hunger and a lack of job prospects drove many Swiss people to seek their fortunes elsewhere, particularly in North and South America. At home, industrial towns and cities saw an influx of rural and, increasingly, foreign migrants. Living conditions for many members of this new urban working class were often precarious. Foreign policy During the wave of revolution that engulfed Europe in the early 1850s, relations between Switzerland and Austria, which also ruled northern Italy, were extremely tense. Many Italians, who wanted to see a united and independent Italy (Risorgimento), sought refuge in liberal- run Ticino. The local community sympathised with their cause, some even fighting alongside their Italian comrades or smuggling weapons for them.
