The mission in Vienna represents Switzerland in the Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCoC).

The signatory states to the Code have agreed on confidence-building measures in the area of ballistic missiles that can be used as delivery systems for weapons of mass destruction. In view of the continuing development of ballistic missiles and the affinity of these programmes with civilian missile technology, the HCoC has an important role to play as a multilateral transparency regime in Switzerland's view. In 2020/21, Switzerland held the chair of the HCoC for one year.
