Is Switzerland under the jurisdiction of this court?

I think so

Well, maybe they'll rediscover why they used to avoid getting entangled with the rest of Europe.

It has never been clear to me why Switzerland has always stayed away from Europe and its policies, but I think this time Switzerland will give in

Geography + small country

Switzerland is one of the wealthiest countries in Europe, one reason is centuries of neutrality

They literally would lose their currency and lot of Swiss people feel that staying away from it means more independence and more choice. (More like a feeling don’t really know if it is a fact)

My understanding of Swiss history is that it was largely founded by people trying to get away from oppressive European regimes. I'm sure TomK knows it better than I do though.

All began at the 'Rütli Wiese' where they swore the oath. Very interesting history

Yes it fully is. Switzerland is in the center of EU! They are not part of EU but have a lot of bilateral agreements and are in Schengen. They are part of CEDH and even have Swiss judge there. This court is more about fundamental rights tho, so really a good thing because this is the final step of a really long legal process to defend your rights (against states).They usually judge, recommend and give fines.
