Swiss to vote September 27 on enshrining stricter neutrality in constitution
Swiss voters head to the polls on Sunday, September 27 to decide whether to enshrine a stricter definition of the country's centuries-old neutrality in the constitution. A 'yes' vote would effectively bar Switzerland from imposing sanctions on Russia unless approved by the UN Security Council and rule out military cooperation with alliances like NATO outside cases of direct attack. Polls indicate nearly two-thirds of voters oppose the initiative.
