In this contribution to the Bulletin 2022, Fabien Merz examines the opportunities and ambitions associated with the four thematic priorities of Swiss Security Council membership for the period 2023-2024. Merz shows what Switzerland has to offer in the areas of promoting sustainable peace, protecting the civilian population, climate security and increasing the efficiency of the Council. He argues that due to its foreign policy profile, Switzerland is well placed to offer added value in these areas and to be able to contribute constructively to the Council. When pushing ahead with its priorities, Switzerland will also have to ensure that it works together with other Council members in a solution-oriented manner and builds on what has already been achieved by other members.
