The commission is the result of almost six years’ negotiations
and agreement between victims’ groups, parliamentarians and the Swiss
Bishops Conference
Victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Switzerland may
now seek financial compensation and other forms of reparation in cases
that have exceeded the statute of limitations. This follows the launch
of an independent sexual abuse commission. However, payments are likely
to remain symbolic.
