¹ The watch list con­tains de­tails of or­gan­isa­tions and groups that are reas­on­ably as­sumed to pose a threat to in­tern­al or ex­tern­al se­cur­ity.

² The as­sump­tion is deemed to be reas­on­able where an or­gan­isa­tion or group ap­pears on a list kept by the United Na­tions or the European Uni­on; in this case, this or­gan­isa­tion or group may be in­cluded on the watch list.

³ An or­gan­isa­tion or group shall be re­moved from the watch list if:

a.

the as­sump­tion that it poses a threat to in­tern­al or ex­tern­al se­cur­ity no longer ap­plies; or

b.

it no longer ap­pears on any list in ac­cord­ance with para­graph 2 and there are no par­tic­u­lar reas­ons why it should pose a threat to in­tern­al or ex­tern­al se­cur­ity.

⁴ The Fed­er­al Coun­cil shall set out in an or­din­ance the cri­ter­ia by which the watch list is drawn up; it shall de­term­ine the peri­od­icity for re­view­ing the list.
