    16.009 Rapporto sulla politica estera 2015 del 13 gennaio 2016 Onorevoli presidenti e consiglieri, vi sottoponiamo, affinché ne prendiate atto, il rapporto sulla politica estera 2015. Gradite, onorevoli presidenti e consiglieri, l’espressione della nostra alta conside- razione. 13 gennaio 2016 In nome del Consiglio federale svizzero: Il presidente della Confederazione, Johann N. Schneider-Ammann Il cancelliere della Confederazione, Walter Thurnherr 2015-2490 469 Compendio Il rapporto sulla politica estera 2015 offre una panoramica della politica estera svizzera nell’anno in rassegna. Nella forma e nella struttura è conforme alla decisione del Consiglio federale del 2011 che conferisce al Dipartimento federale degli affari esteri (DFAE) il mandato di sottoporgli ogni anno un resoconto sulle attività di politica estera condotte dalla Svizzera. Conformemente al postulato della Commissione della politica estera del Consiglio degli Stati (06.3417), che chiedeva un compendio di tutti i rapporti concernenti la politica estera pubblicati periodicamente, il presente rapporto è inoltre completato da un allegato sulle attività della Svizzera nel Consiglio d’Europa. In adempimento della mozione 10.3212 Chiaro orientamento strategico della politi- ca estera, nel febbraio del 2012 il Consiglio federale ha adottato il rapporto sugli indirizzi strategici della politica estera per la legislatura (strategia di politica estera 2012–2015). Nel rapporto figurano gli indirizzi strategici seguenti: relazioni con gli Stati confinanti, rapporti con l’Unione europea (UE), stabilità in Europa e nel resto del mondo, partenariati strategici extraeuropei e governance globale. Una buona parte del rapporto sulla politica estera 2015 è strutturata in funzione di tali indirizzi e illustra le modalità con cui nell’anno in rassegna si è provveduto alla loro attua- zione.

Federal Chancellor Walter Thurnherr Those who argue in this way have not understood the es- sence of democracy. There are countries where the govern- ment controls the people. And there are countries where the people control the government. Democracies fall under the second category. It is true that even authoritarian regimes sometimes make decisions that are supported by the majority. But there are no rules defining how the majority can overturn decisions if they no longer agree with them. Democratic procedures take longer, but over the years, they provide more stability and engender greater acceptance. Those who want to preserve democracy respect the institu- tions, the independence of the courts, the competences of the different powers and the fundamental values of the con- stitution.
