The author examines Switzerland's Human Rights Policy since World War II, tracing the country's move from its "exceptional, unique position" to one that is comparable to other Western democracies. A description is given of the evolution of foreign policy and corresponding human rights policy in Switzerland, from 19th century humanitarian traditions and post-war neutrality, to the modern policy of international co-operation with human rights as a part. The author presents the essential features of Swiss human rights policy and concludes that the country is "on the way to a comprehensive human rights policy, although there are of course still various shortcomings."
