This week’s subject: Switzerland
Switzerland’s long history of democratic rule and commitment to peace began with the country’s formation in 1291. Known as a neutral country since 1648, Switzerland is home today to many international diplomatic and human rights organizations, including the International Committee of the Red Cross, founded by Swiss Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry Dunant in 1863.
