Switzerland finally adopts the appropriate tools to prosecute war criminals present on its territory


Landmark victory in the fight against the impunity of international criminals! The Swiss Confederation finally decided to provide its prosecuting authorities with the necessary tools to investigate and prosecute persons suspected of, or responsible for genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity present on its territory. The public campaign launched by the Swiss Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CSCPI) has thus achieved its goal. From now on the Federal Prosecutor’s Office has at its disposal a  "Competence Center",staffed with permanent experts, that will be able to track internationalcriminals more effectively.
