Switzerland Intensifies Efforts to Combat Terrorism
In an effort to strengthen its defenses against terrorism, the Swiss government has outlined a comprehensive strategy aimed at preventing and combating terrorist activities.
According to the plan, suspected terrorists will be listed in international information systems such as the Schengen Information System (SIS), INTERPOL, and Europol. The authorities will also consider security aspects when assessing permission to stay in Switzerland and in asylum procedures.
To combat terrorism, the Swiss government plans to implement a range of measures, including:
- Strengthening national and international coordination and cooperation with other authorities and institutions
- Enhancing intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities
- Improving border control and surveillance
- Increasing security measures at airports, public transportation hubs, and other sensitive areas
- Supporting victims of terrorism and their families
The government has also emphasized the importance of preventing terrorist radicalization and combating the causes of terrorism. To achieve this, Switzerland will participate in international efforts to prevent terrorist radicalization and promote constitutional proceedings with regard to UN sanctions.
In addition, the Swiss authorities will ensure compliance with human rights, international humanitarian law, and refugee law in counterterrorism operations.
The strategy review process is scheduled every four years, with modifications made as necessary to reflect changing security threats and circumstances.
