Right now, firms like Nestlé can get away with using child labour to make Swiss Chocolate without fear of ever being prosecuted because Swiss laws protect them from liability here at home. But this week, we can restore Switzerland’s reputation as a global beacon for human rights!

A new bill being introduced this week would hold Swiss companies accountable for crimes committed abroad, ensuring justice for victims of corporate abuse and protecting the credibility of the Swiss name. Big money lobby groups are already gearing up to knock it down, but our support can sway parliamentarians and show them that the public wants Switzerland to stand for respect for human rights and the environment.

When Swiss companies commit crimes abroad, our whole country bears the shame. But if we build a massive citizens mandate in the next two days, we can make Switzerland a haven for human rights, not human rights abusers. Sign the urgent petition to the Federal Council and Parliament and forward this widely -- MPs will personally announce our signatures in the Parliament and deliver it to the Federal Chancellery.
