Switzerland’s term on the UN Security Council is concluding this month, with the Aussenministerium set to assess its performance in January. Generally deemed successful, Switzerland focused on peace promotion, civilian protection in conflicts, climate security, and improving Council efficiency. While facing a crisis-laden environment, feedback from other countries and NGOs has been positive, highlighting Switzerland’s commitment to international law and humanitarian issues. However, skepticism remains about the Council’s effectiveness in making tangible differences on the ground.
