The promotion and update of the report are included in the four-year plan of action accompanying the voluntary report, as well as in the annual plan of action of the Committee.
    The Swiss Red Cross and Switzerland co-organized a round table entitled “International Humanitarian Law: What does Switzerland do?” on 18 November 2020. It brought together 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. Due to the sanitary situation and to allow broader participation, the event was live streamed.
