SWITZERLAND, 2000

The Constitution that went into effect on January 1,
2000, protects individuals from discrimination based on ùway
of lifeû, wording intended to include sexual orientation.

SWEDISH CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, 2003.

Since January 1, 2003, the Constitution of Sweden states

that the public sector shall counteract discrimination on grounds
of gender, ethnicity, religious and belief, disability and sexual

orientation. The provision is not legally binding and thus
cannot be directly relied upon in litigation before the courts in
individual cases. The legally effective provision is found in

anti-discrimination legislation of 1999 which bans discrimination
in employment on the basis of sexual orientation.
