Articles of Incorporation of the Association are required when establishing a formal association under Swiss law. This document is essential for any group seeking to form an organized body with a specific purpose, whether it be cultural, professional, charitable, or recreational. It must comply with Articles 60-79 of the Swiss Civil Code and include mandatory provisions such as the association's name, purpose, resources, and organizational structure. The document serves as the constitutional framework for the association's operations, defining membership criteria, governance structures, decision-making processes, and dissolution procedures. It's particularly important as it establishes the association's legal personality, enabling it to act as a separate legal entity and limiting members' personal liability to the extent of their membership dues.
