Life

Marty studied law at the University of Neuchâtel . From 1972 to 1975 he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg im Breisgau , where he was responsible for the Swiss law department. In 1975 he was appointed public prosecutor for the Canton of Ticino. In that office he stood out for his tough crackdown on organized crime and drug abuse. He succeeded in one of the largest seizures of heroin in Switzerland. He came into personal contact with the fate and death of numerous drug addicts. This led to his skeptical stance against the prosecution of consumption. Marty is a proponent of medically assisted drug delivery.

In 1987 the US Department of Justice honored him for his services ; he also received an award from the International Association of Drug Control Authorities. In 1989 Marty was elected to the government council of the canton of Ticino. In this function he headed the cantonal finance department and was President of the Government Council in 1992. In 1995 he decided not to run for the cantonal government again. In autumn 1995 he was elected to the Council of States.

In the Council of States he was a member of various important commissions, including the Finance Commission and the Commission for Economics and Taxes. He played a key role in advising on the new Swiss federal constitution . Marty was a member of the Council of Europe from 1998 to 2011. In 2005 Marty was hired to lead the investigation into the suspected secret transports and prison camps ( black sites ) of the CIA in Europe.

As Switzerland has no professional parliament, Marty works part-time as a legal and economic advisor. From 1996 to 2007 he was President of the Switzerland Tourism Organization .

In 2007 he won the SwissAward in the Politics category. On November 10, 2007 Marty was honored with the Human Rights Prize 2007 of the International Society for Human Rights (ISHR). Marty received the award for his work as a Council of Europe investigator into illegal activities of the US secret service CIA in Europe. In June 2006 and June 2007, he had submitted two reports of secret prisons and transfer flights of prisoners of the US secret service CIA in Europe. In it Marty had described the existence of secret prisons of the CIA in Poland and Romania as proven. He accused several European countries of turning a blind eye to illegal American activities. Most recently, Marty also examined the UN's black list of terrorist suspects. Marty had already sharply criticized the UN list in April 2007. Since this is secret, those affected do not have the opportunity to make themselves heard and to appeal. The terror suspects must be granted a “minimum of transparency and the right to defense”.

The successor to Dick Marty in the chairmanship of the Legal Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly in the Council of Europe took over on January 22, 2008, the former German Justice Minister Däubler-Gmelin .

In a report published on December 14, 2010 for the Council of Europe, Dick Marty, Hashim Thaçi and other former leaders of the Kosovar UÇK Liberation Army wrote that they were involved in trafficking in organs of Serb prisoners after the 1998–99 Kosovo War , in contract killings and other crimes. Thaci then said the allegations were unfounded and requested an independent investigation. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted Marty's report on January 25, 2011. In a resolution, the MPs demanded a serious investigation into the incidents.

Since the beginning of 2011 Marty has been President of the Inter-Jurassic Assembly (IJV); he was appointed by the Federal Council in December 2010 . Marty will not run for the 2011 elections to the Council of States. He is also leaving the Council of Europe in 2011.

In 2011 Marty was awarded the Fischhof Prize and the Thomas Dehler Prize . On October 14, 2011, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Geneva .

In August 2011, Marty was elected one of the vice-presidents of the World Organization Against Torture (OMCT). On September 6, 2012, Marty received the Tertianum Foundation's Human Dignity Prize worth CHF 10,000 in recognition of his international commitment to human rights .

Between January 2014 and February 2015, Marty was President of the Cycling Independent Reform Commission , which, on behalf of the World Cycling Federation Union Cycliste Internationale, investigated its involvement in the doping scandal in cycling and made recommendations for further combating doping.

Marty is a member of the initiative committee of the corporate responsibility initiative .
