ZURICH(Reuters) - Swiss voters have clearly rejected a proposal to give the neutral country's laws priority over international law, a move that critics claimed would have deeply damaged its global standing and hurt its economy.

Some 63 percent of voters in a national referendum on Sunday voted against the "Swiss law, not foreign judges" measure, according to the second round of projections by broadcaster SRF.
