“Life goes on even where it seems to have been shattered”

In honour of Guido A. Zäch

by Dr Sabine Vuilleumier-Koch*

(13 March 2026) Hundreds of people wished to pay their respects to the doctor and founder of the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation.1 Guido A. Zäch established this foundation in 1975 and, in 1978, the Association of Benefactors, which now has 2 million members. In 1980, he founded the Swiss Paraplegics Association as an organisation for people with spinal cord injuries, and in 1990 opened the “Swiss Paraplegics Centre” (SPC) and, in 2005, the Guido A. Zäch Institute. – He passed away at the age of 90 on 16 February 2026. Across the country, all interested parties were invited on 28 February and were able to attend the tribute ceremony in various buildings of the SPZ.

The “Epstein scandal” and its socio-psychological consequences

Legal action is urgently needed

by Robert Seidel*

(13 March 2026) At the end of January, the largest portion to date of the Epstein files (several million documents, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos) was published.1 The “Epstein case” offers a glimpse into a part of the international power structure that operates beyond governments, the UN, the WHO or the WEF, and beyond the rule of law. A full investigation and legal reckoning are required.

This illegal US-Israeli attack on Iran is also an assault on the United Nations

by Jeffrey D. Sachs* & Sybil Fares**

(13 March 2026) Let us be clear about what the United States and Israel are pursuing. The US objective is not the security of the American people. The objective is global hegemony. The attempt is to destroy the UN and the international rule of law – an attempt that will fail.

The war against Iran is not a “preventive war”, it’s an unprovoked war of aggression

by Alfred de Zayas,* Geneva

(6 March 2026) We are complicit in the US/Israel aggression against Iran if we accept the pretext that this was a “pre-emptive war”. This time the pretext is even weaker than in 2003 with Hussein's alleged “weapons of mass destruction”.

Who benefits from age verification on social media?

When child abusers want to protect children from TikTok, it’s probably about something else

by Norbert Häring*

(6 March 2026) A ban on social media for children and young people is being pushed worldwide, supposedly to protect them. It is being driven by a global “elite” that has abused and tormented young people and children for decades and continues to protect the perpetrators to this day. In reality, they want to put an end to unmonitored use of the internet.

Russia–Ukraine: Green light for Switzerland

by Guy Mettan*, Geneva

(6 March 2026) As the war in Ukraine drags on, a small diplomatic window seems to be opening. With its tradition of neutrality and mediation, Switzerland could seize this opportunity to build on its historical role and contribute to reviving the momentum for peace.
