Form A National implementation measures

Article 7, paragraph 1

“Each State Party shall report to the Secretary-General ... on:

(a) The national implementation measures referred to in article 9;”

Remark: In accordance with article 9 “Each State Party shall take all appropriate legal, administrative and other measures to implement this Convention, including the imposition of penal sanctions, to prevent and suppress any activity prohibited to a State Party under this Convention undertaken by persons or on territory under its jurisdiction or control.”

` State [Party]: SWITZERLAND

Reporting for time period from 01/01/2016 to 31/12/2016

Legal, administrative and other measures taken to implement the CCM (including imposition of penal sanctions)

Supplementary information (e.g., text and effective date of implementation measures, including legislation, administrative measures, policies and directives, training of military forces)

The Convention on Cluster Munitions entered into force for Switzerland on 1st January 2013. Cluster munitions are now part of the category of prohibited weapons in Swiss law as it was already the case for nuclear, biological and chemical weapons as well as for anti-personnel mines. In order to implement this Convention effectively, Switzerland revised its Federal Act on War Material of 13 December 1996 and put into place a general prohibition of cluster munitions (article 8a) as well as penalties in case of violations of this provision (articles 35a and 35b). Switzerland also included a prohibition on direct financing of prohibited war material (article 8b) which now also includes cluster munitions. The indirect financing (article 8c) has also been prohibited when its purpose is to circumvent the prohibition on direct financing. These amendments of the Federal Act all entered into force on 1st February 2013.

In Addition, the Swiss Criminal Code (Title Twelve, esp. Art. 264h and 264j) and the Military Criminal Code (Title Six, Art. 112d and 114) criminalise the use of prohibited weapons as a war crime.

The relevant legislative acts are available on the following link: War Material Act: http://www.admin.ch/ch/f/rs/514_51/index.html

Swiss Criminal Code: https://www.admin.ch/opc/en/classified-compilation/19370083/index.html

Military Criminal Code: https://www.admin.ch/opc/fr/classified-compilation/19270018/index.html - French only

In addition to the legal measures taken, the Chief of the Armed Forces issued a directive that regulates and adapts military instruction of artillery, as well as the technical amendments to artillery systems and simulators. This directive is valid as per 1 June 2013.

(m) The amount of national resources, including financial, material or in kind, allocated to the implementation of articles 3, 4 and 5 of this Convention; and

(n) The amounts, types and destinations of international cooperation and assistance provided under article 6 of this Convention.



International co-operation and assistance provided: In 2016, Switzerland attributed CHF 18.9 million to mine action, which includes the engagements in regard to international co-operation and assistance. Due to well-known practical reasons, the attribution to activities addressing the threat posed by anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions and other ERWs cannot always be clearly separated and quantified.

Switzerland’s engagement in international co-operation and assistance is based on the Mine Action Strategy of the Swiss Confederation 2016-2019. This new strategy was published in July 2016 and represents the fourth subsequent national strategy in this domain. The strategy defines a whole of government approach to all activities addressing the threats posed by anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions and explosive remnants of war on policy as well as on operational level.

On that basis, Switzerland provides assistance to mine / cluster munitions / ERW affected countries in terms of funds, material and personnel:

• Support in clearance projects, projects integrating mine action into development, risk awareness campaigns and victim assistance projects mainly through financial contributions in countries and regions such as: Angola, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cambodia, Columbia, Gaza, Kosovo, Laos, Libya, Myanmar and Ukraine for about CHF 6.0 million.

• Provision of substantial political and financial support to the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD): in the reporting period, Switzerland contributed about CHF 9.27 million to the GICHD, which acts as a facilitator, strategic adviser, research body and think tank in the field of Mine Action (including ERW). The Implementation Support Units (ISU), which serve the States Parties to the APMBC as well as to the CCM, are hosted by the GICHD with considerable in-kind contributions from Switzerland (about CH 0.5 million per annum).

• Provision of experts in the fields of EOD, logistics, finance and information management to UN Mine Action Programmes. During the reporting period, experts were deployed to programmes in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan and Western Sahara as well as to UNOPS and UNMAS HQ in New York and in Geneva. During the reporting period, CHF 2.71 million have been spent for the assignment of personnel. Switzerland further developed and updated its specific training courses with its partners GICHD, UNICEF and UNOPS.

• Provision of EOD systems. This offer includes not only the material but also training and support (follow-up deliveries may take place upon request). During the reporting period, no request for a delivery was submitted. Among the material provided to international Mine Action Programmes, SM EOD-Systems are the most prominent items.

Since 2000 Switzerland has been offering international training courses on the Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) via the channels of

22 / 24

the Partnership for Peace Program (PfP). Switzerland annually offers a series of courses in different fields of mine action. In the reporting period, Switzerland along with such partners as the GICHD, UNICEF and UNOPS offered nine courses with the following topics: “Ammunition Safety Practitioner”, “Integrated Mine Action for Better Results”, “Application of IMAS”, two "A1 IMSMA-Training-Courses", one "A2 IMSMA-Training-Course”, two basic “Support Service Officers Courses” and one senior "Support Service Officers Course”. These courses are open for future experts to be sent to international Mine Action Programmes as well as for experts working in Mine Action Programmes for further education. The courses took place in Spiez. CHF 166'000.- have been spent for these training courses.
