Switzerland is well known as a protecting power, having used its embassies abroad to represent the interests of states hostile to each other since the Franco-Prussian War. In the Second World War Switzerland served as protecting power for 35 countries on both sides - its embassy in Washington represented Germany, Italy, Japan and Vichy France. In many post-war conflicts, including in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Asia, the Middle East and Serbia, Switzerland has provided a continuity of representation after formal relations were severed, facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid and conflict resolution.

Switzerland's embassies and consulates, excluding honorary consulates, are listed below.
