Switzerland to ban mercenaries
SWITZERLAND: The government introduced draft legislation on Wednesday to banish mercenary firms and tighten regulation on private security companies.
The proposed Bill would ban Swiss-based companies from participating in armed conflicts abroad and from recruiting or training mercenaries in a bid to maintain the country’s tradition of neutrality.
Private security contractors based there would also have to report to the government on their activities to ensure they are abiding by an international code of conduct established last year.
