As the Swiss government announced on Wednesday, it has appointed the 57-year-old as Switzerland's new ambassador to this institution. In response to an enquiry, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) announced that Baeriswyl's move to Strasbourg was a regular transfer.

“The transfer discipline stipulates that diplomatic personnel regularly change their place of employment.” Switzerland's current ambassador to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg is Claude Wild. He is retiring, as the FDFA also reported on enquiry.

Baeriswyl's successor at the UN in New York will be Frank Grütter. He is currently the Swiss ambassador in Singapore and was previously head of the FDFA's UN Division.
