United Nations Security Council resolution 1426, adopted without a vote on 24 July 2002, after examining the application of the Swiss Confederation for membership in the United Nations, the Council recommended to the General Assembly that Switzerland be admitted.[1]

In a March 2002 referendum, the 54.6% of Swiss voters endorsed a government plan to apply for membership in the United Nations.[2] The General Assembly later admitted Switzerland to the United Nations on 10 September 2002 under Resolution 57/1.[3]
