1. Swiss law allows an association to sanction the associates for their breach of the association rules, so as to secure the observance of those rules. Disciplinary commissions are actually intended to serve this purpose. In this framework, any reproach for the way specific disciplinary proceedings are organized should not be limited to an overall criticism about an alleged lack of independence or of a conflict of interest between the association and the associates, or the functional or organizational position of the disciplinary committee, but should concern identified violations of the internal rules of the association, or mandatory rules of the applicable law, governing the composition and the activity of the chamber in charge of hearing the given case.
