The page you link to just seems to be the Berne convention. You'd need to find the appropriate Swiss copyright legislation.

Yes, it is the Berne convention. And if you sign the contract as a whole you sign it single paragraphs too unless you state otherwise. I couldn't find such a statement otherwise but I'm not saying I digged deep enough.
There is more than one paragraph inside the Berne Convention that explicitly states that the signing states may make their own regulation about this particular topic but it doesn't say so in this paragraph.
