Switzerland's report on the implementation of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance

Bern, 19.12.2018 - At its meeting of 19 December 2018, the Federal Council adopted a report on Switzerland's measures to implement the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. These include a national network to facilitate the search for missing persons or persons who may have been subjected to enforced disappearance in detention. No case of enforced disappearance within the meaning of the Convention is known to have occurred in Switzerland to date. The implementation report will now be submitted to the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED).
