This episode marks the 20th anniversary of Switzerland’s membership in the United Nations. Switzerland became the 190th member of the UN following a national referendum in March 2002, in which the majority of population (54.6%) voted in favour of joining the UN.
Ambassador Jürg Lauber, Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the United Nations at Geneva joined The Next Page for a conversation about Switzerland’s journey in the UN and to reflect on the two decades since its accession.
