Switzerland votes on neutrality initiative
Original: Swiss neutrality initiative vote
Switzerland is holding a vote on a citizens' initiative that would enshrine permanent neutrality in the constitution. Supporters argue strict neutrality would protect the country and distance it from sanctions linked to the war in Ukraine, while the government and business groups warn it could weaken ties with Western partners. The debate has renewed international attention on what Swiss neutrality means today.
Why now: Debate over Russia sanctions and Swiss defence policy has put the country's traditional neutrality back in the spotlight.
