Mesures prises:
The preparation of a voluntary report was included in the annual action plan of the Interdepartmental Committee on International Humanitarian Law, of which the SRC is a member, in 2020.
To disseminate and promote the voluntary report, the Swiss Red Cross and Switzerland Co-organized a round table “International Humanitarian Law: What does Switzerland do?” on 18 November 2020. It gathered representatives from the Ministry of foreign affairs, the Ministry of Defence, the Swiss Red Cross and the Swiss parliament. It allowed the promotion of the voluntary report and a broader discussion on contemporary questions on domestic implementation of IHL with the citizens. The event was live streamed to allow broader participation despite the sanitary situation.
