Autor: Eine Analyse von Larissa Rhyn Die Schweiz soll eigenständig Sanktionen verhängen dürfen, unabhängig davon, was die EU oder die UNO tun. Das hat der Nationalrat im Sommer beschlossen. Nun steuert der Ständerat gegen – und muss sich durchsetzen. Damit bleibt die traditionelle, passive Rolle der Schweiz in der Sanktionspolitik weitgehend erhalten. Gegen den Willen ihres Parteivorsitzenden kümmern sich die Mittelstaatsräte darum. Nach Kriegsausbruch in der Ukraine debattierten Politiker in der Schweiz emotional darüber, ob der Bundesrat alle Wirtschaftssanktionen gegen Russland übernehmen solle....
