  1. Votre État/Société nationale/institution a-t-il/elle incorporé les engagements contenus dans cette résolution dans les plans stratégiques ou opérationnels pertinents ?

    Oui

    Les engagements sont incorporés dans les documents suivants:
    Stratégie
    Politique
    Plan opérationnel
    Législation (par ex. loi, réglementation, statuts, règlement intérieur, etc.)

    Au National niveau

    Précisions :

    The resolution together with the RFL Strategy were taken into consideration for our internal strategy, policy and operational plan. As it provides also some basics for the access to data and funding of RFL activities, it will hopefully also contribute for the negotiation for a new Red Cross Law in Switzerland (process has just started).

  2. Votre État/Société nationale/institution a-t-il/elle coopéré avec d’autres partenaires aux fins de la mise en œuvre des engagements contenus dans cette résolution ?

    Oui

    Partenariats avec :
    Gouvernement et/ou autorités publiques
    Autres Sociétés nationales de la Croix-Rouge ou du Croissant-Rouge

    Exemples de coopération :

    With the government: Negotiation for better access to data, funding and support to our activities of humanitarian advocacy also in the part of family reunification.
    With other National Societies: Regular exchange about the use and impact of the resolution in the sense of inspiration through best practices. Different processes for better application of Geneva Convention for the missing persons and their families has been launched. Also, a process for clarification of a general funding contribution through a Red Cross law was started in 2024 after a parliamentary decision has been taken to cancel basic funding in 2022.

  3. Vous êtes-vous heurté·e à des difficultés dans la mise en œuvre des engagements contenus dans cette résolution?

    Oui

    Difficultés rencontrées :
    Ressources humaines
    Contraintes en matière de financement
    Manque de capacités et/ou de soutien (technique, financier ou autre)

    Précisions au sujet des difficultés :

    If you want to use the resolution you also need human resources to start and follow-up on the negotiations. We got support from our Office for Foreign Affairs as they also supported the resolution, but this does not mean that the home departments and the political stakeholders do agree with it. This needs time to implement and especially when it comes to funding questions, it is very complicated.

  4. Les engagements contenus dans cette résolution ont-ils eu une ou des incidences sur l’action et les orientations de votre État/Société nationale/institution ?

    Oui

    Type d’incidence :
    La coopération entre le gouvernement/les autorités publiques et la Société nationale a été renforcée.
    Les programmes et les opérations sont devenus plus efficaces et plus efficients.

    Précisions au sujet des incidences :

    Yes, as we got a central entry point to an important database of our government, we were able to save a lot of time for the search process. We got also a base to argument for other negotiations to different government institutions in the future.

  5. Les engagements contenus dans cette résolution ont-ils eu des incidences sur les communautés auxquelles votre État/Société nationale/institution vient en aide ?

    Oui

    Description des incidences :

    Increased answers for beneficiaries who are looking for their missing family members as we got one important direct access to a government database.
