A/HRC/4/19/Add.2 page 18 58. The Swiss Liberal Party (Liberale Partei der Schweiz/Parti libéral suisse; LPS/PLS) is calling for the prosecution of asylum-seekers who commit criminal offences and for greater flexibility in particularly difficult humanitarian situations for which exceptional measures (“humanitarian permit”) should be taken. The measures to be taken include: the speedier and more systematic execution of return decisions, graduated social assistance, subject to established justification for extending the stay of the person in question and, under certain conditions, limited work permits.29 59. For the Christian Democratic Party (Christlich-demokratische Volkspartei/Parti démocratique chrétien; CVP/PDC), the declared guiding principle is to control immigration in Switzerland while reducing crime committed by foreigners. The Party advocates the facilitation, under certain conditions, of naturalization for young foreigners, the maintenance of the prohibition on work by asylum-seekers for three months, the reduction of the time limit for lodging an appeal in asylum procedures, and support for expulsion orders for persons residing in the country illegally.30 60. The Swiss People’s Party/Centre Democratic Union (Schweizerische Volkspartei/Union démocratique du Centre; SVP/UDC) is calling for a tougher policy towards foreigners, particularly asylum-seekers. The Party advocates, inter alia, the more effective surveillance of Switzerland’s borders, the placement of asylum-seekers in collective shelters pending the authorities’ decision and the execution of this decision, the reduction of time limits for procedures, appeals and re-evaluations of asylum procedures, as well as the immediate expulsion of asylum-seekers who are known criminals, or their internment pending their expulsion. This Party’s political campaigns and posters have often been criticized and denounced by civil society organizations, the Federal Commission against Racism, the media and members of foreign communities and minorities as advocating racist and xenophobic ideas. 61. For the Freethinking Democratic Party of Switzerland/Radical Democratic Party of Switzerland (Freisinnige Demokratische Partei Schweiz/Parti radical-démocrate Suisse; FDP/PRD), integration includes “respect and recognition of the norms and habits of the indigenous population”. Foreigners should be willing to integrate and the Swiss population should be open to that wish.31 According to the Radical Democratic Party’s programme, the management of immigration should take account of national interests and national identity and 29 Programme of the Swiss Liberal Party 2004-2007, 11 June 2003. 30 Programme of the Christian Democratic Party, adopted at the Party’s congress on 18 September 2004. 31 Radical Democratic Party, migration policy, position paper adopted by the conference of chairpersons of the cantonal parties of the Radical Democratic Party of Switzerland on 12 April 2002 at Hergiswil (Nidwalden), p. 9.
