  • 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.

Introduction Switzerland is a small alpine state in the west of Europe and it seems today to be one of the most privileged countries in the world. In its history, Switzerland has survived successfully and remained independent when its neighbors were engaged in destructive confl icts. Nowadays, the country, with more than 8.4 million permanent residents1, enjoys one of the highest living standards among industrialized countries and the political stability of Switzerland is impressive. This article describes how it is possible that a country with four languages, two religions and diff erent ethnic groups could achieve such a high level of political culture. However, it would be completely inaccurate to think of Switzerland as a country without historical, political or social unrest and armed confrontations. In Switzerland, direct democracy, as 1 Federal Statistical Offi ce: Population (2017) ― 120 ― Switzerland’s Political System 2nd updated and enlarged edition（Miroslav Vurma） a component to indirect democracy, was established in early 19th century and has been developed further since then.

  • International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Country
    International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Country Report of Switzerland (2015) Introduction Upon joining the IHRA in 2004, Switzerland drafted a comprehensive report (Baseline Study, 24 pages) addressing many questions related to Holocaust research, education and remembrance and listing teaching materials and research books, such as the 25 volumes the Independent Commission of Experts Switzerland – Second World War (ICE) published in 2001 and 2002. The report begins with the following remarks: “We believe that, in Switzerland, the question of the Holocaust, and in particular Holocaust education and remembrance is best approached, explained and taught in the light of Switzerland’s own history and behaviour during the Nazi era, and has to be linked to modern-day anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia.” This approach is still valid in Switzerland – a small and multilingual country spared Nazi occupation. Like several other member states of the Council of Europe, Switzerland recognises Jews and Travellers as national minorities as defined in the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities1. About 17,000 Jews live in the country (0.3 per cent of the population). Most of the Travellers belong to the Yenish, Sinti and Manouches autochthonous ethnic groups (about 35,000 individuals, with about 3,000 still partially itinerant). Both Jewish and Traveller organisations are represented in an advisory group to the Swiss delegation – alongside Holocaust survivors, educators and members of associations combatting anti-Semitism and discrimination. The advisory group was set up when Switzerland joined the IHRA and then expanded at the beginning of 2015. 1. General Activities Have there been any developments in politics or government that have had a substantial impact on the activities related to the Stockholm Declaration over the last five years? In summer 2013, Switzerland made an additional donation of EUR 1 million to the perpetual fund of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.
