For neutrality. For Switzerland."},"content":{"rendered":"

Switzerland is not neutral when it hesitates. It ceases to be so. When a country founded on humanitarian law, mediation and diplomatic constancy begins to \u00abstudy\u00bb power clubs designed to circumvent multilateralism, that is not prudence: it is renunciation. And this renunciation has a name, a function, and a clear political responsibility.<\/em><\/p>\n

How Switzerland, cradle of humanitarian law<\/strong>, Host to over 40 international organisations<\/strong>, depositary of the Geneva Conventions<\/strong>, can she declare that she will \u00abstudy\u00bb<\/em> possible participation in an alleged \u00abPeace Council\u00bb<\/strong> designed by Donald Trump<\/strong> ?<\/p>\n

A private club, outside the UN, outside international law, outside multilateralism.<\/p>\n

A closed circle functioning as a geopolitical country club<\/strong>, with an entry fee of one billion dollars, designed to bypassing the UN<\/strong>, to marginalise the non-aligned states and impose the law of the strongest.<\/p>\n

\u2b95 Simply announcing that Switzerland is \u201cstudying\u201d this option is a serious political error.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neutrality transformed into an adjustment variable<\/h3>\n

Under the direction of\u2019Ignazio Cassis<\/strong>, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs<\/strong> no longer defends neutrality:<\/p>\n

it negotiates<\/strong>, the wrong<\/strong>, the puts into perspective<\/strong>, It's all about pressure and power.<\/p>\n

Swiss neutrality is or a slogan<\/strong>, It is neither a moral stance nor a communication tool.<\/p>\n

It is a strategic tool<\/strong>, recognised, respected, useful because it is credible and consistent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But today, that credibility is crumbling.<\/p>\n

\u00abAmbiguity is not diplomacy: it's cowardice.\u00bb<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This maxim has never been truer.<\/p>\n

Switzerland doesn't have to please the \u201cGodfather\u201d<\/h3>\n

Switzerland has not to flatter a power<\/strong>, whatever it may be.<\/p>\n

It has no need to show your credentials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It has not \u201cnot to upset\u201d<\/strong> one camp or another.<\/p>\n

His strength has always been elsewhere:<\/p>\n
