Abstract:

The creation of favorable conditions for people, their associations and territories is the credo of the Swiss state, whose history began with the unification of alpine regions in the 13th century. The article analyzes statehood and the circumstances of its influence not only on neighboring countries, but also on the world community as a whole. The prerequisite for this, according to the author, was the respect of Swiss institutions of national doctrine and the strategically justified status of neutrality. At the same time, the real contribution of Swiss law to the regulatory systems of various international organizations is noted, especially focusing on security and financial issues.
