Swiss voters reject bid to lock neutrality into Constitution
Swiss voters have rejected a proposal to enshrine the country's neutrality in the Constitution. The bid aimed to make permanent neutrality a constitutional obligation, limiting the government's room to co-operate with other countries on security matters. The outcome means Switzerland's long-standing neutrality remains a matter of policy rather than constitutional law, leaving Bern flexibility in how it engages with partners and international organisations.
Why now: The vote reflects ongoing debate in Switzerland over whether neutrality should constrain closer ties with Western security partners.
