In its newsletter of march 2015, Human Rights Watch calls for a critical reading of the Federal Council report on Swiss human rights foreign policy 2011-2014

« The «Report on Swiss human rights foreign policy: summary 2011 – 2014 and perspectives» provides a good overview of the key fields of activity of Swiss human rights policy. Unfortunately though, the report remains too shallow. It attempts to conceal sensitive issues and there is no real analysis of and discussion on domestic and foreign issues that are problematic from a human rights perspective.

Parliament acknowledged the Report together with the 2014 Foreign Policy Report. Both Councils only devoted very little time to the reports and the human rights report was only marginally discussed.
From a NGO perspective, the effort to produce such a human rights report for a complete legislative period is only justified if the FDFA shows efforts to allow a public debate on it. There is still much to be done in this field.»
