Editing Right to silence (section)

===Switzerland===
Article 158 of the unified Swiss code of [[criminal procedure]], which entered into force in 2011,<ref>[http://www.bj.admin.ch/bj/de/home/dokumentation/medieninformationen/2008/ref_2008-09-100.html Medienmitteilung EJDP, 10.09.2008] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120724000805/http://www.bj.admin.ch/bj/de/home/dokumentation/medieninformationen/2008/ref_2008-09-100.html |date=24 July 2012 }}.</ref> establishes that the results of an interrogation may not be used unless the accused has been informed that:

* he/she is the subject of a criminal investigation for some specific infractions,
* he/she has the right to remain silent and not to cooperate with police,
* he/she has the right to legal representation by a private or state-funded attorney, and
* he/she has the right to request the services of an interpreter.

The [[Swiss cantons|cantonal]] codes of procedure, which remain in force until 2011, generally contain similar provisions.
