Zurich

Zurich is Switzerland’s main economic hub, known for its large international financial industry as much as for its historic downtown and scenic setting between mountains and Lake Zurich. At the same time, it is a cosmopolitan city with all the amenities you would expect from Switzerland.

Switzerland

One of Europe’s oldest direct democracies, Switzerland is characterised by a high level of stability and economical prosperity. Unsurprisingly, given the sovereignty of its people, the country also has possibly the most liberal right-to-die law worldwide. Its right-to-die groups EXIT Deutsche Schweiz and EXIT A.D.M.D will celebrate their 30th anniversary in 2012, and host the world congress in honour of the occasion. So while the country may well be the perfect place to sort out the serious issues on the agenda, it is also one of the world’s most scenic settings to celebrate this anniversary.
