Nuclear non-proliferation
The non-proliferation of nuclear weapons is a priority for Switzerland, as their proliferation among state or non-state actors would have serious consequences for global security. Switzerland is an active member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and is committed to a comprehensive ban under international law on all nuclear explosions. High nuclear safety and security standards and export controls also contribute to nuclear non-proliferation.
