Security policy
Swiss security policy is aimed at safeguarding the freedom of action, self-determination and integrity of Switzerland and its inhabitants, protecting their vital resources against direct and indirect threats and dangers and contributing to peace and stability beyond our borders.
The instruments for implementing Swiss security policy include its foreign policy, the armed forces, the civil protection system, its intelligence service and police, its economic policy, customs administration and civilian service. All these entities help to prevent, ward off and overcome threats and dangers to Switzerland.
