Private security companies operating in conflict regions will not be registered
Bern, 21.5.2008 - Swiss-based private military and security service providers operating in foreign crisis and conflict regions will not be subject to registration or licensing requirements for the time being. So decided the Federal Council on Wednesday on the basis of a report from the Federal Office of Justice (FOJ). The minor importance of the Swiss market and the difficulties of enforcing such legislation militate against the introduction of a statutory framework.
