The Directorate also contributes to the further development of international law by participating in the negotiation, conclusion and implementation of international treaties. Compliance with and promotion of international law has always played a priority role in Swiss foreign policy and contributed to its coherence and credibility.

Questions about this listing
What salary does Confederazione Svizzera offer for this role?
The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Bern is CHF 78'500 - 134'500 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by Confederazione Svizzera. The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Confederazione Svizzera offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with Confederazione Svizzera during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Bern?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Bern's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Bern's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
