Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
“Swiss free trade agreements are based mainly on economic criteria. The Federal Council’s considerations regarding a coherent foreign policy also include social, environmental and human rights standards. The latter are mentioned in the preamble to the treaty, though without being binding. Human rights must be discussed mainly in the framework of the UN Human Rights Council, which is the most appropriate body for such issues.” Those were the words of Didier Chambovey, Head of the Word Trade Division of the State Secretariat for the Economy ( SECO ) at a meeting with Malaysian NGOs, the Bruno Manser Fund, the Society for Threatened Peoples and Alliance Sud.
