A spokesman for the Swiss Foreign Ministry has stated that ADLs claims in the ad are not supported by the facts. Is he right?
No, the facts are indisputable: EGL, a government-owned company, contracted to buy natural gas from Iran. The Swiss Foreign Ministry has said that the contract was worth between 18 billion euros and 27 billion euros ($28 billion to $42 billion) over a 25-year period. Switzerland is pursuing “its narrow economic interests,” because the contract is a commercial deal by a government-owned company, and is not about Swiss energy security. Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. Iran finances Hezbollah, Hamas, and terrorist groups around the world. Iran severely violates the human rights of its citizens. The Swiss government’s vague complaint is a weak attempt to defend the indefensible. Q: The Swiss Foreign Ministry’s spokesman also questioned why a non-governmental organization like ADL was criticizing Switzerland “for following its own long-term strategic rationale, which is in line with international considerations?” A: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play an important role in monitoring
