Diplomatie, Notrecht und der Rechtsstaat

The silly season seems to be over: to write give Spectacular negotiating successes and embarrassing excuses. The media euphoria over the UBS comparison absorbs only a small box of foreign policy commission of the Council of States:
The Commission is concerned about the "tendency of the government in important and sensitive files on the Parliament to go." What angered the Councillors , but perhaps the key to successful negotiations. On the Swiss side, there was no significant leaks for months and therefore no public discussions on the negotiating strategy, which could have played into the hands of the United States. That the Councillors groping in the dark is, moreover, less with the evil will of the Federal Council as to their organization.
The Federal Assembly has in the financial and news services via two small delegations with full right of inspection. For diplomacy, there is no comparable supervisory body. [Source: NZZ today, not available online]
shows the work of the executive in diesem Fall zum wiederholten Male ein Spannungsverhältnis zwischen resultatorientierten, effizienten Entscheidungen - und rechtsstaatlichen Kontrollfunktionen. Weitere Beispiele:
  • die juristische Bearbeitung der Rechtshilfegesuche wird kaum so schnell möglich sein, wie das nötig sein wird, die Justiz ist » die große Unbekannte «, weil sie rechtsstaatliche Verfahren durchführen möchte und sich auf das Gesetz stützt
  • bei Rettungsaktionen (UBS, Swissair) wird Notrecht eingesetzt, ohne dass dieser Einsatz je auf seine Verfassungskonformität hin überprüft werden kann, indem - zumindest im Fall der UBS - Notsituationen künstlich geschaffen werden, um to circumvent the parliament
One might infer that the direct democratic system in Switzerland would have to be reformed, especially as although domestically the system great place, can make clear to foreign policy, neither the U.S. tax authorities have a " desert son " that negotiation results are subject to review by other bodies.
That would be a problem in a relatively harmless situation such as that the agreement with Libya, even if one can wonder how far you want to be blackmailed by a dictator.
(In parentheses are two passages from this agreement:
Does that mean it is already clear that the were "unnecessary and unjustified measures"? So no longer the subject of the investigation?
Libyans are as from now on Assaults in Switzerland, assisted by the police ("Facilitate their procedures.") So much for the clip remark ...)
problem is to strengthen the executive at the expense of democratic security, if the executive branch with people like Hans-Rudolf Merz is busy and UBS led by former members of the executive. The entire biography of Hans-Rudolf Merz is paved with disastrous decisions in the financial industry. As a former employee, he is now responsible for massive investment the federal government (and their resolution to a completely inappropriate time, profit down, profit ago) - and an artist in the use of emergency law. You have to read not WoZ to get a bad feeling.
