Neutral 100%
That treasured neutrality.
I hit the bully and then the victim, so I can claim I’m neutral. Doesn’t matter that it affects one much more than the other.
And the problem is?
The usual cowardice of our politicians.
For those who didn’t read the article, the article is essentially:
1) CH Gov interprets International law regarding neutrality in times of war as equal treatment of belligerents in certain aspects
2) This one professor in Bern (who is an expert on the topic – professor of constitutional and international law at the University of Bern) disagrees
The article doesn’t mention any other sources beyond this professor, so it is impossible to know if this is just one expert disagreeing with everyone else, or if it is a more general interpretation.
Given that neither I not anyone here is an expert in International Law (despite everyone playing one on Reddit), there isn’t much that we can debate.
I’m ashamed of our spineless government.
Those sanctions are about War materials. A neutral country doesn’t supply weapons to an active warzone no matter the side.
I like swiss neutrality!
As a swiss i dont wanna get pulled into a war when shit hits the fan.
None of you wanna be part of todays type of War.
Were you die to some random fcking drone.
I dont care! Im not dieing because of some Political War Pull by Russia / EU – USA over Crimea Oil. So many keyboard warriors, deluded by morals and ethics when in war there gonna be none of it.
