Please propagate these texts. I am waiting for your remarks. It is high time to abolish conscription, as a shameful violation of human rights. Conscription is a danger for peace, it is a tool for nationalistic massacres as the latest events in Yugoslavia illustrate. Conscription deprives a man of the right to decide upon his own life and hinders the peaceful citizens not to participate in a bloody war.
Military tribunals prosecutes the deserters.
In spite of the fact that sometimes the deserters maybe serve better not only the humanity, but even the interest of the own nation, e.g. in a case of a lost war. Anybody must have an asylum if he is subjected to conscription in his own country. In many countries the laws on conscience objection already recognise that the state cannot force its citizens into the army against their conscience. It is time to recognise that the state cannot arbitrarily and systematically oblige its citizens to go into any kind of service, armed or not, against their will. Compulsory military service does not even respond to today's defence needs, while the civil compulsory service is a form of feudal corv,e which cripples the true meaning of volunteering and steals job positions, plus endangers workers rights and achievements.
