International-law treaties require parliamentary oversight and transparency - especially regarding Bilateral III, questions of sovereignty and international obligations.
International treaties shape Swiss law - from the relationship with the EU through bilateral agreements to UN and Council of Europe conventions. We are committed to ensuring that these obligations are negotiated transparently, scrutinised by parliament and democratically legitimised.
Negotiations with the EU must be subject to full parliamentary and, where appropriate, direct-democratic oversight.
Convictions of Switzerland by the European Court of Human Rights must be consistently followed up.
Federalism and sovereignty are core values - they must not be quietly eroded.
Negotiating texts, reservations and impact assessments belong in the public debate.
Swiss foreign policy is not an isolated domain: it acts directly on our family law (through ECtHR rulings on child and adult protection) and on our healthcare (through international agreements, pandemic treaties and WHO regulations). Those who do not pay attention here hand over decisions that affect everyone.
