  • Background Information on the "Ban on Minarets"


    On 1 May 2007 a committee made up of members of the Swiss People’s Party and the Federal Democratic Union of Switzerland launched a popular initiative which seeks a constitutional ban on minarets. The committee must collect 100,000 votes by 1 November 2008 in order that the initiative can move to the next stage in the legislative process. Provided that the popular initiative passes all legal obstacles and it is eventually accepted by the people, it may come into force in 2010. For now, however, there is a constitutionally enforceable right to build minarets.
