随着奥地利和爱尔兰等其他中立国家增加国防开支并加强与北约的联系，瑞士选民正在参与一项公投，决定是否在宪法中确立对该国数百年中立传统更严格的定义。
As other neutral countries such as Austria and Ireland increase defence spending and strengthen ties with NATO, Swiss voters are taking part in a referendum on whether to enshrine a stricter definition of the country’s centuries-old neutrality in the constitution. Switzerland has not fought a military conflict since neutrality was established in 1815, but some argue that measures such as sanctions can undermine that principle. The vote also raises questions about how neutrality can be maintained amid Europe’s changing security landscape, with Russia at war with Ukraine and the US putting pressure on traditional alliances such as NATO.

自1815年确立中立地位以来，瑞士未再卷入任何军事冲突，但一些人认为，制裁等措施可能会削弱这一原则。

此次投票还引发了关于在欧洲安全格局变化背景下如何维持中立的问题，目前俄罗斯正与乌克兰交战，美国则对北约等传统联盟施加压力。乔什·瓦迪报道。
