Das Recht, sich dem Töten zu verweigern

Das Programm "Das Recht, sich dem Töten zu verweigern"

Die War Resisters' International unterstützt alle Kriegsdienstverweigerer, unabhängig davon, ob sie bereit sind, einen zivilen Ersatzdienst zu leisten (in Ländern, in denen diese Option existiert), oder nicht. Die War Resisters' International bewertet die Motive einer Person, das Töten zu verweigern, nicht, und schätzt die individuelle Entscheidung einer Person, sich nicht an Krieg und der Vorbereitung von Krieg zu beteiligen, als einen wichtigen Schritt in Richtung der Abschaffung von Krieg.

The life story of a true Israeli: On the militarization of youth in Israel
17 Mai 2012
Englisch

“A true Israeli doesn't dodge draft!” [1] – this slogan stands at the centre of a large-scale publicity campaign in Israel. The campaign was not run by the Israeli military, and it was not aiming to add more soldiers to the dwindling ranks of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). Israel has (at least de jure) universal conscription, for both men and women. But this slogan did express, and strengthen, how most Israelis understand the role of military service in the life of an Israeli – a true Israeli.

Al relacionar militarización y juventud en este país, necesariamente debemos mirar hacia atrás y percatarnos de los cientos de años de militarismo en la Historia de esta zona: ocupaciones territoriales y violentas por colonias europeas, construcción de "héroes de la patria" como ejes motivacionales del patriotismo, legalización de la formación de militares por medio de la obligatoriedad, gasto militar exponencial versus la dieta del gasto social, inserción de prácticas militares en las escuelas civiles y mutación de las fuerzas armadas acorde al modelo económico imperante.

Russia discourages conscientious objectors: activist
24 Apr 2012

Russia is discouraging requests from conscientious objectors to swap compulsory military service for stints of alternative service, a rights activist complained Monday.

"The main problem is that following the strategy of the General Staff the government is doing all it can to torpedo everything that concerns citizens' rights to alternative service," said Sergei Sorokin, a member of the Moscow Helsinki Group.

"The government is doing all it can not to let this happen," Sorokin told reporters. "Hundreds of thousands of people are fighting for this right."

‘Charter should include conscientious objection’
10 Apr 2012

ANKARA - Hürriyet Daily News

The new constitution being prepared is an opportunity to introduce alternative forms of military service and an individual right to object to using a gun or oppose all military service activities, conscientious objectors tell a commission working on the new charter, highlighting a European Council decision favoring such rights.

The Conscientious Objectors Platform made a presentation at Parliament’s constitution-making commission yesterday to demand the right for males to opt out of compulsory military service.
