Positive balance: The federal government is satisfied after a year in the UN Security Council

Switzerland “did well” and “played a positive role in line with its priorities,” Deputy State Secretary Thomas Gürber told media in Bern. Whether it concerns sustainable peace, the protection of civilians, the climate or the effectiveness of the Security Council.

By emphasizing international humanitarian law, Switzerland has “made a difference,” said Pascale Baeriswyl, Switzerland’s ambassador to the UN in New York. While the situation in the Gaza Strip led to tensions, the threat to cut Switzerland’s contribution to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNRWA) rocked the organization.

The council is “keeping an eye on it,” Baeriswyl said. But “I cannot yet say that this will have an effect on the range of Switzerland.”
