National security law

National security law brings together rules on defence, intelligence, public order, crisis response, cyber risks and protection of critical infrastructure. In Switzerland it is shaped by federalism, neutrality, democratic oversight and fundamental rights. The field often involves sensitive information and preventive measures, so legality, proportionality and effective remedies are essential. Comparative analysis highlights different balances between executive flexibility, parliamentary control, judicial review and transparency.
