Switzerland: AUPER2 computer

01 January 1993

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

From 1 January 1993 the Swiss authorities are registering all foreigners, refugees and asylum seekers on a computer system called AUPER2. The information on each person will not only include names, addresses and places of work but also religious and political activity, racial characteristics and social security assistance received. Cantonal (regional states) police and social assistance officials will have access to the system and will be able to put information in. The legal basis of the computer system is not based on law but on an "ordonnance" which does not allow the parliament to authorise or question its operation.
