Private security companies: A status report - Federal Council identifies need for action
Bern, 5.12.2005 - In view of the increasing role played by private security companies, the Federal Council believes cantonal regulations must be more closely harmonised. In addition, Switzerland's humanitarian tradition means that the country can make a valuable contribution to strengthening and concretising international regulations in international humanitarian law specifically. These are the conclusions set out by the Federal Council in its report on private security and military companies, published Friday.
