Why Switzerland not planning Russian Sanction !

           The  U.S. President  Barack  Obama has announced   new  Economic   Sanction  against   Russia   ,  saying  they  will  make   Russia's  weak   Economy  even  weaker  ------- the  co-ordinated   action   of   the   U.S.  AND  EUROPEAN   UNION     would   "have   an  even   bigger   bite "  on  Russia  Economy.
          The   E.U.  imposes  fresh  asset   freezes   and    travel  bans  against  some  Russian  Nationals  and   Farms  . Putin  has   been  practically   driven   into     A   Corner  and  squeezed  by   E.U .
          It   is  a  Coercive  Measure  adopted   by   the   U.S.  and   European  Union  against   Russian.
         The   Western  Sanction  may   be   violent  the   International  Covenant  on   Civil   and   Political   Rights (  ICCPR ) ,which   adopted  by   the   UN  general  assembly  on   16 , Dec ,  1966.
         The    consequence   of    the   latest  sanction  of   the   U.S. and   the  European  Union   are   as   the  following

      _  It  will   start  a   new   cold  war  between   the   U.S.   , E.U   and   Russia  .
      _  It   will  be   happened  another  civil  war  or  proxy   war  in   Ukraine  and   then  expand  to   Boltic  region   .
      _ Unexpected   flash point  from   trying  to   destroy  the   Evidence   of   the   Malaysian  Airlines  MH17 plane  issue .
        The  Pro-Russia  force  have  repeatedly    accused   Kiev   of    blocking   access   to   the   crash  site  of  MH17  plane  by   fighting  in   the    Area  .
    Western   Powers    accused  Pro-Russia   force    of  downing  the   Malaysian  air   lines MH17  plane  .

(Reuters) - Switzerland has no plans to impose sanctions on Russia and will remain neutral in the diplomatic row over Ukraine, Swiss Economy Minister Johann Schneider-Ammann said in a newspaper interview published on Sunday.
Switzerland has frozen funds connected to Ukraine's former president Viktor Yanukovich. Unlike the United States and European Union it has not sought to punish Russia for annexing Ukraine's Crimea peninsula or for its support for rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Around 75 percent of Russian crude oil exports are traded through Geneva, according to the Swiss government, and Russian assets in Swiss banks stood at nearly 13.8 billion francs ($15.2 billion) in 2012, according to the Swiss National Bank.
Switzerland is the current chairman of the Organization for Cooperation and Security in Europe, which has been mediating between the two sides and played a role in securing access for international investigators to the crash site of the Malaysian airliner shot down in eastern Ukraine two weeks ago.
"It is especially important now that there is a country that can say 'we are not taking sides'. And we are offering to help to resolve the crisis, which has brought insecurity and war, step by step," he told the Schweiz am Sonntag newspaper.
"Our role would be weakened if we simply imposed the EU sanctions."
Asked if there was any chance of Switzerland changing its policy, Schneider-Ammann said that there had been "great unanimity" in cabinet discussions up to now.
But he reiterated the government's pledge that Switzerland would not allow itself to become a conduit for people or funds trying to bypass European sanctions, and it was reviewing the way it put that pledge into practice to be sure it was working.
Germany's Foreign Ministry last week said it wanted wider cooperation to pressure Russia for its support of separatists in Ukraine, adding that it had been in talks with non-EU countries such as Switzerland and Turkey.

Even if Switzerland does not impose its own sanctions some of the EU measures will apply in Switzerland because it is a member of the 28-nation bloc's passport-free Schengen zone.

The   International   Covenant   on  Civil  and   Political   Rights  .
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ICCPR has its roots in the same process that led to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A "Declaration on the Essential Rights of Man" had been proposed at the 1945 San Francisco Conference which led to the founding of the United Nations, and the Economic and Social Council was given the task of drafting it.[2] Early on in the process, the document was split into a declaration setting forth general principles of human rights, and a convention or covenant containing binding commitments. The former evolved into the UDHR and was adopted on 10 December 1948.[2]
The States Parties to the present Covenant, including those having responsibility for the administration of Non-Self-Governing and Trust Territories, shall promote the realization of the right of self-determination, and shall respect that right, in conformity with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations.[3]
Drafting continued on the convention, but there remained significant differences between UN members on the relative importance of negative Civil and Political versus positive Economic, Social and Cultural rights.[4] These eventually caused the convention to be split into two separate covenants, "one to contain civil and political rights and the other to contain economic, social and cultural rights."[5] The two covenants were to contain as many similar provisions as possible, and be opened for signature simultaneously.[5] Each would also contain an article on the right of all peoples to self-determination.[6]

The first document became the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the second the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The drafts were presented to the UN General Assembly for discussion in 1954, and adopted in 1966.[7] As a result of diplomatic negotiations the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights was adopted shortly before the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
