Paragraph 1 – point l
Paragraph 1 – point l
(l) The Guidelines should include the right to conscientious objection to military service as a legitimate exercise of. Firstly, right to conscientious objection should include the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, and thefuse military service. EU should call on countries with a system of compulsory military service to allow for an alternative service of a non-combatant or civilian character, in the public interest and not of a punitive nature, and to refrain from punishing, including through prison sentences, conscientious objectors for failure to perform military service. Secondly, as the right of conscientious objection is of much broader scope and cannot be limited to the refusal of a military service, a person should be at liberty to refuse provision of certain services or treatment; or to undergo certain procedures or treatment which are conflicting with his or her beliefs . This right should not be conditioned by providing a certificate of belonging to a particular religious group on the part of a person appealing to the right to conscientious objection as this right belongs to all human beings without distinction.
