International “Human Rights Day” on December 10, 2023.</strong></p> <p>War is a crime against humanity. We condemn Russia’s war of aggression on Ukraine, which is contrary to international law and has already led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries and millions of refugees.</p> <p>Many people from Russia and Belarus, but also from Ukraine, who are threatened with military service, try to evade  it: They do not want to kill other people and they do not want to die in this war. Soldiers at the front want to lay down their weapons in the face of the horror. They all face repression and imprisonment, in Belarus even the death penalty. But: Conscientious objection is an internationally recognized human right!</p> <ul><li>We demand from the governments of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine: Stop the persecution of conscientious objectors and deserters immediately!</li> <li>We demand from the EU: Open the borders! Give opponents of war the option to enter the European Union! Protect conscientious objectors and deserters from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine and give them asylum!</li> </ul><p>For this purpose, we are going to organize rallies and demonstrations in front of Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian embassies as well as EU representations, vigils in front of deserter monuments and other creative actions at different locations in the week before the “International Human Rights Day” – from December 4 to 10, 2023. In doing so, we emphasize: conscientious objection is a human right!</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/objectwarcampaign">#ObjectWarCampaign</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/standwithobjectors">#StandWithObjectors</a></p> <h3>Who we are</h3> <p>We are an alliance of civil society organizations and are in solidarity with all people who stand up against war.

War Resisters’ International are calling for a signature campaign for deserters and conscientious objectors from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. The <strong>#ObjectWarCampaign</strong> calls on all citizens from everywhere to join the global effort to ensure protection and asylum to conscientious objectors and deserters from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine involved in the current war in the region. <strong>They are our hope to refuse war and let peace prevail!</strong></p> <p>On April 6, 2022, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, <a href="https://tiny.one/255da47x">had called on Russian soldiers</a> to desert and promised them protection under refugee law. So far, this promise has not been fulfilled. </p> <p>Within the scope of <strong>#ObjectWarCampaign</strong>, a <a href="https://you.wemove.eu/campaigns/russia-belarus-ukraine-protection-and-asylum-for-deserters-and-conscientious-objectors-to-military-service">petition</a> has been prepared for everyone to sign in. The petition is addressed to the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Council Charles Michel and the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola. The petition emphasizes the need to uphold the right to asylum to conscientious objectors and deserters from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine by hosting states. The petition launched on the WeMove.eu website can now be signed in <a href="https://you.wemove.eu/campaigns/russland-belarus-ukraine-schutz-und-asyl-fur-deserteure-und-verweigerer">German</a>, <a href="https://you.wemove.eu/campaigns/russia-belarus-ukraine-protection-and-asylum-for-deserters-and-conscientious-objectors-to-military-service">English</a>, <a href="https://you.wemove.eu/campaigns/russie-bielorussie-ukraine-protection-et-asile-pour-les-deserteurs-et-les-objecteurs-de-conscience-au-service-militaire">French</a>, <a href="https://you.wemove.eu/campaigns/russia-bielorussia-ucraina-protezione-e-asilo-per-disertori-e-obiettori-di-coscienza-al-servizio-militare">Italian</a> , <a href="https://you.wemove.eu/campaigns/russia-belarus-ukraine-protection-and-asylum-for-deserters-and-conscientious-objectors-to-military-service-el">Greek</a> and <a href="https://you.wemove.eu/campaigns/rusia-bielorrusia-ucrania-proteccion-y-asilo-para-desertores-y-objetores-de-conciencia-al-servicio-militar">Spanish</a>.</p> <p>There are <a href="https://en.connection-ev.org/article-3624">an estimated 100,000 Russian military draftees and deserters</a> refusing the war of aggression. <a href="https://en.connection-ev.org/article-3624">An estimated 22,000 Belarusian military draftees have left their country</a> because they don’t want to participate in the war in Ukraine. Everyone who has refused service risks several years of prosecution because of their stand against the war. They are hoping for protection in various countries.</p> <p>Ukraine suspended the right to conscientious objection and closed the border for men between 18 and 60. <a href="https://en.connection-ev.org/article-3624">Over 100,000 men have evaded war involvement in Ukraine</a> and fled abroad. Currently, Ukrainian citizens have temporary residence in the European Union. The #ObjectWarCampaign petition demands that the right to conscientious objection to military service is fully guaranteed in Ukraine.</p> <p>The petition signatures  are a crucial sign of support for conscientious objectors and deserters. This campaign highlights the importance of opening borders to those who oppose the war at great personal risk in their countries, and calls on everyone around the world to support those who refuse to fight and kill.</p> <p><strong>Every recruit can be a conscientious objector, every soldier a deserter. Let’s support those who refuse to kill and end war together! </strong></p> <p><strong>#ObjectWarCampaign<br /> #StandWithObjectors</strong></p> <p><strong>The launch of the petition has been anticipated by an appeal sent in</strong> June 2022, to the European Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe -supported by 60 organizations from 20 countries - detailing why protection and support for deserters and conscientious objectors on all sides of the Ukrainian war is necessary and moreover that it is a human right. There have already been discussions about this in the European Parliament. </p> <p><strong>More information: </strong></p> <p>The appeal to the European institutions can be found <a

Conscientious Objection to Military Service in Europe 2021</strong>, covering the region of the Council of Europe (CoE). </p> <p><a href="https://wri-irg.org/sites/default/files/public_files/2022-05/2022-03-21-ebco_annual_report_2021_0.pdf"><strong>Read and download the report here.</strong></a></p> <p><strong>EBCO’s President Alexia Tsouni </strong>said:</p> <blockquote><p><em>EBCO’s Annual Report concludes that <strong>Europe was not a safe place in 2021 for many conscientious objectors in several countries </strong>who faced <strong>prosecution, arrests, trials by military courts, imprisonments, fines, intimidation, attacks, death threats, and discrimination</strong>. These countries include <strong>Turkey</strong> (the only CoE member state who has not yet recognised the right to conscientious objection), and consequently, the Turkish-occupied <strong>northern part of Cyprus</strong> (the self-styled “Turkish Republic of North Cyprus”), <strong>Azerbaijan</strong> (where there is still no law on alternative service), <strong>Armenia, Russia, Ukraine, Greece, the Republic of Cyprus, Georgia, Finland, Austria, Switzerland, Estonia, Lithuania, and Belarus</strong> (candidate)</em>.</p> </blockquote> <p>The <strong>human right to conscientious objection to military service</strong> was not high in the European agenda in 2021, although conscription is still enforced in 18 Council of Europe (CoE) Member States. They are: <strong>Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia</strong> (reintroduced in 2017), <strong>Greece, Lithuania</strong> (reintroduced in 2015), <strong>Moldova, Norway, Russia, Sweden</strong> (reintroduced in 2018), <strong>Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine </strong>(reintroduced in 2014), and <strong>Belarus</strong> (candidate).</p> <p>At the same time, <strong>refugees</strong> are not always granted international protection as they should. However; in <strong>Germany</strong>, the asylum application of Beran Mehmet İşçi (from Turkey and of Kurdish origin) was accepted in September 2021 and he was granted refugee status.</p> <p>As for the minimum conscription age, although the <strong>Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict</strong> encourages states to end all recruitment of persons below the age of 18, a disturbing number of European states continues to do this. Worse, some breach the absolute prohibitions in the Optional Protocol by placing servicemen aged under 18 at risk of active deployment, or by allowing conscripts to enlist before their 18th birthday.</p> <p>Exceptionally, although not during 2021 which is the scope of this report, a special reference needs to be made to the <strong>Russian invasion in Ukraine</strong> on February 24th 2022. On the same day, EBCO strongly condemned the invasion and called all parties to strictly adhere to international humanitarian law and international human rights law, including the right to conscientious objection to military service, and to protect civilians, including internally displaced persons and refugees. EBCO urged to end the war with an immediate ceasefire leaving space for negotiation and diplomacy. <strong>EBCO stands in solidarity with the pacifist movements in Russia and Ukraine, and shares their statements for peace, non-violence, and conscientious objection, which are indeed a source of hope and inspiration</strong>:<sup>1</sup></p> <p>Statement by the <strong>Movement of Conscientious Objectors to Military Service in Russia</strong>:<sup>2</sup></p> <blockquote><p><em>What is happening in Ukraine is a war unleashed by Russia. The Conscientious Objectors Movement condemns the Russian military aggression. And calls on Russia to stop the war. The Conscientious Objectors Movement calls on the Russian soldiers not to participate in hostilities. Do not become war criminals. The Conscientious Objectors Movement calls on all recruits to refuse military service: apply for alternative civilian service, be exempted on medical grounds.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Statement by the <strong>Ukrainian Pacifist Movement in Ukraine</strong>:<em>3</em></p> <blockquote><p><em>The Ukrainian Pacifist Movement condemns all military actions by the sides of Russia and Ukraine in the context of the current conflict. We call the leadership of both states and military forces to step back and sit at the negotiation table. Peace in Ukraine and around the world can be achieved only in a non-violent way. War is a crime against humanity. Therefore, we are determined not to support any kind of war and to strive for the removal of all causes of war.</em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Given the ongoing war and the anti-war protests, on March 15th 2022 EBCO expressed its respect for and solidarity with all the courageous conscientious objectors, anti-war activists and civilians from all parties to the war and called on Europe to provide them with concrete support</strong>. EBCO strongly condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as NATO’s expansion to the east. EBCO calls on the soldiers not to participate in hostilities and on all recruits to refuse military service.<sup>4</sup></p> <p>The Annual Report describes the expansion of the mandatory military service in <strong>Ukraine</strong> and the enforcement of conscription without exceptions for conscientious objectors in 2021. The situation deteriorated after the Russian invasion and martial law, with travel ban for almost all men and aggressive military recruitment of foreign students. EBCO regrets about the decision of the Ukrainian government, enforcing total military mobilization, to prohibit all men aged from 18 to 60 to leave the country, which led to discrimination against conscientious objectors to military service, who were deprived of their right to seek refuge abroad.</p> <p><strong>NOTE: You can find more information in EBCO’s Annual Report on Conscientious

href="https://wri-irg.org/sites/default/files/public_files/2021-02/2021-02-15-ebco_annual_report_2020.pdf"><strong>Annual Report: Conscientious Objection to Military Service in Europe 2020</strong></a>. The report covers updates on conscientious objection to military service across the region of Council of Europe (CoE) during 2020.</p> <p>Download the report <a href="https://wri-irg.org/sites/default/files/public_files/2021-02/2021-02-15-ebco_annual_report_2020.pdf">here</a>.</p> <p><strong>Alexia Tsouni</strong>, President of EBCO and one of editors of the report, said <strong>“Europe was not a safe place in 2020 for many conscientious objectors in several countries. Conscientious objectors faced prosecution, arrests, trials by military courts, imprisonments, fines, intimidation, attacks, death threats, and discrimination.”</strong></p> <p>Tsouni said  “These countries include Turkey (the only CoE member state who has not yet recognised the right to conscientious objection), and consequently the Turkish-occupied northern part of Cyprus (the self-styled “Turkish Republic of North Cyprus”), Azerbaijan (where there is still no law on alternative service), Armenia, Russia, Ukraine, and Greece”.</p> <p>According to the report <strong>conscientious objection to military service was not a high priority in the European agenda during 2020, although conscription is still enforced in 18 CoE Member States</strong>, including Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus (candidate), Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia (reintroduced in 2017), Greece, Lithuania (reintroduced in 2015), Moldova, Norway, Russia, Sweden (reintroduced in 2018), Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine (reintroduced in 2014).</p> <p> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'entity_embed_container' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'modules/contrib/entity_embed/templates/entity-embed-container.html.twig' --> </p><div alt="EBCO signs peace statement by Armenian and Azerbaijani youth" data-embed-button="image_embed" data-entity-embed-display="image:responsive_image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;responsive_image_style&quot;:&quot;body_inline_1_3&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;}" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1947e727-9bce-49b6-899c-f179e61455f3" data-langcode="en" class="align-right embedded-entity"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'responsive_image_formatter' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/responsive_image/templates/responsive-image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'responsive_image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/responsive_image/templates/responsive-image.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/bootstrap/templates/system/image.html.twig' --> <img srcset="/sites/default/files/public_files/styles/max_325x325/public/facebook.png?itok=ctCyfb_D 1x" src="/sites/default/files/public_files/styles/medium/public/facebook.png?itok=hCqt9O1K" alt="EBCO signs peace statement by Armenian and Azerbaijani youth" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /><!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/bootstrap/templates/system/image.html.twig' --><!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/responsive_image/templates/responsive-image.html.twig' --><!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/responsive_image/templates/responsive-image-formatter.html.twig' --></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'modules/contrib/entity_embed/templates/entity-embed-container.html.twig' --> <p>EBCO’s Annual Report also highlights <strong>the lack of necessary protection for conscientious objectors seeking asylum in Europe</strong>. Tsouni said “refugees are not granted international protection as they should. For example, <strong>a refugee from Azerbaijan who applied for asylum in Belgium on grounds of conscientious objection to military service had his application rejected, including his appeal.</strong>”</p> <p>EBCO report also draws attention to the fact that a <strong>disturbing number of states across Europe continue to recruit under-18s to their military,</strong> despite the standards set by the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. “Worse”, EBCO reports, <strong>“some breach the absolute prohibitions in the Optional Protocol by placing servicemen aged under 18 at risk of active deployment, or by allowing conscripts to enlist before their 18th birthday.”</strong></p> <p>The report also includes updates from Azerbaijan and Armenia regarding the military conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, including a number of peace statements by groups from <a href="http://www.criticatac.ro/lefteast/anti-war-statement-of-azerbaijani-leftist-youth/">Azerbaijan</a>, <a href="https://oc-media.org/peace-statement/">Armenia</a> as well as <a href="https://manifest.ge/main/item/3108/">Georgia</a>.</p> <p>This year, EBCO dedicated its Annual Report to <strong>Jean Van Lierde (1926-2006), a well-known Belgian conscientious objector and the first EBCO President.</strong></p> <p>You can download the report <a href="https://www.ebco-beoc.org/node/491">here</a>.</p> <p>To find more information, visit EBCO’s website <a

2020 the Grand Chamber panel of the European Court of Human Rights rejected the request to refer the case of </font><font color="#000000"><b>Dyagilev v.

In this judgement, by majority of four (4) to three (3), the </font><font color="#000000">European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), found that there has been no violation of article 9 of the European Convention of Human Rights in the case of conscientious objector (CO) Maksim Andreyevich Dyagilev, whose application for CO status and alternative civilian service had been dismissed by a military recruitment commission, and subsequently by courts.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000">In this judgement, a small majority of judges found that the military recruitment commission “</font><font color="#000000">satisfies the </font><font color="#000000"><i>prima facie</i></font><font color="#000000"> requirement of independence” despite the fact that three out of seven of its members are representatives of the Ministry of Defence.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000">In this ECtHR judgement a slim majority disregards all other relevant international and regional human rights standards set by numerous UN and European institutions for more than half a century.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000">First of all, in this case the majority of ECtHR judges appear to ignore that “no court and no committee can examine a person’s conscience”, and that “in order to be recognized as a conscientious objector, a declaration setting out the individual's motives should suffice in order to obtain the status of conscientious objector”, as </font><font color="#000000"><b>European Parliament</b></font><font color="#000000">’s resolutions have repeatedly stated for over 30 years.</font><a href="#sdendnote1sym" name="sdendnote1anc" id="sdendnote1anc"><sup>i</sup></a></p> <p><font color="#000000">Furthermore, the ECtHR disregards the fact that both the </font><font color="#000000"><b>UN Human Rights Council</b></font><font color="#000000">,</font><a href="#sdendnote2sym" name="sdendnote2anc" id="sdendnote2anc"><sup>ii</sup></a><font color="#000000"> and its predecessor, </font><font color="#000000">the then</font><font color="#000000"><b> UN Commission on Human Rights,</b></font><sup><font color="#000000"> </font></sup><a href="#sdendnote3sym" name="sdendnote3anc" id="sdendnote3anc"><sup>iii</sup></a><font color="#000000"><b> </b></font><font color="#000000"> have, since 1998, welcomed the fact that some States accept claims of conscientious objection as valid without inquiry. In this case, not only was Dyagilev’s claim not accepted without inquiry, but, as pointed out in the dissenting opinion of 3 judges, the “</font><font color="#000000">assessment was based on an overly burdensome standard of proof”.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000">In this judgement the ECtHR appears to ignore the international and regional human rights standards concerning any applications for conscientious objector status.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000">In </font><font color="#000000"><b>1967 </b></font><font color="#000000">the </font><font color="#000000"><b>Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe</b></font><font color="#000000">, decided that: “Where the decision regarding the recognition of the right of conscientious objection is taken in the first instance by an administrative authority, the decision-taking body shall be </font><font color="#000000"><b>entirely</b></font><font color="#000000"> separate from the military authorities and its composition shall guarantee </font><font color="#000000"><b>maximum</b></font><font color="#000000"> independence and impartiality.”</font><a href="#sdendnote4sym" name="sdendnote4anc" id="sdendnote4anc"><sup>iv</sup></a><font color="#000000"> [emphasis added]</font></p> <p><font color="#000000">Similarly, the then </font><font color="#000000"><b>UN Special Rapporteur on religious intolerance</b></font><font color="#000000">, set the relevant standard as long ago as 1986: “The decision concerning their status should be made, when possible, by an impartial tribunal set up for that purpose or by a regular civilian court, with the application of all the legal safeguards provided for in international human rights instruments. There should always be a right to appeal to an independent, civilian judicial body. The decision-making body should be </font><font color="#000000"><b>entirely</b></font><font color="#000000"> separate from the military authorities and the conscientious objector should be granted a hearing, and be entitled to legal representation and to call relevant witnesses.”</font><a href="#sdendnote5sym" name="sdendnote5anc" id="sdendnote5anc"><sup>v</sup></a><font color="#000000"> [emphasis added] The same standards continue to be cited today by the </font><font color="#000000"><b>UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief</b></font><font color="#000000"> as the role is named now.</font><a href="#sdendnote6sym" name="sdendnote6anc" id="sdendnote6anc"><sup>vi</sup></a></p> <p><font color="#000000">It is obvious that a military recruitment committee with any representatives of the Ministry of Defence, let alone three (3) out of seven (7) members, is not “</font><font color="#000000"><b>entirely</b></font><font color="#000000">” separate from the military authorities. Furthermore, insofar it is the military members and not the civilian ones which raise questions of independence and impartiality, as it appears to be accepted by the ECtHR [see </font><font color="#000000">Papavasilakis v. Greece</font><font color="#000000">, no. </font><a href="#{&quot;appno&quot;:[&quot;66899/14&quot;]}"><font color="#000000">66899/14</font></a><font color="#000000">], a composition which would guarantee “</font><font color="#000000"><b>maximum</b></font><font color="#000000">” independence and impartiality should have been one with the </font><font color="#000000"><b>minimum</b></font><font color="#000000"> [i.e. zero] participation of military members.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000">Most importantly, in this case the ECtHR does not take into account the recommendations of the UN Human Rights Committee which, in 2009, urged Russia to “consider placing the assessment of applications for conscientious objector status </font><font color="#000000"><b>entirely</b></font><font color="#000000"> under the control of civilian authorities.”</font><a href="#sdendnote7sym" name="sdendnote7anc" id="sdendnote7anc"><sup>vii</sup></a><font color="#000000"> [emphasis added]</font></p> <p><font color="#000000">The OHCHR has also adopted a similar standard noting that: “Independent and impartial decision-making bodies should determine whether a conscientious objection to military service is genuinely held in a specific case. Such bodies should be placed under the full control of civilian authorities.”</font><a href="#sdendnote8sym" name="sdendnote8anc" id="sdendnote8anc"><sup>viii</sup></a></p> <p><font color="#000000">It is worth noting that this ECtHR judgement, which appears to accept a minority of military members in the bodies examining applications for CO status, contradicts its own rationale on whether even a single member may affect the independence and impartiality of a body. For example, in the case of Canevi and Others v. Turkey, no. </font><a href="#{&quot;appno&quot;:%5b&quot;40395/98&quot;%5d}"><font color="#000000">40395/98</font></a><font color="#000000">, which is not related to conscientious objectors, the ECtHR found a violation of Article 6.1 of the European Convention of Human Rights (right to fair trial), because of the participation of a single military member in a tribunal. If even a single (1) military officer affects the impartiality and independence of a tribunal in a case which has nothing to do with the army it is absolutely clear that the same would be true when the issue at stake is directly related to the army as it involves a conscientious objector </font><font color="#000000"><i>opposing</i></font><font color="#000000"> the army and the military service.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000">In conclusion, this year’s ECtHR judgement in the </font><font color="#000000"><b>Dyagilev v. Russia </b></font><font color="#000000">case contradicts longstanding international and regional human rights standards concerning the recognition of COs, as well as its own broader rationale on independence and impartiality. In any case, the ECtHR may be responsible for the European Convention for Human Rights, but its judgement does not preclude the possibility for Dyagilev himself, as well as other conscientious objectors in a similar position, to seek justice at a different level, such as the UN Human Rights Committee, for violation of a different treaty, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. </font></p> <p><font color="#000000">This ECtHR ruling, concerning a single case with specific characteristics, adopted by a majority of just one judge, and not examined by the Grand Chamber does not set a general precedent for Russia and cannot annul the growing jurisprudence on the right to conscientious objection to military service. </font></p> <p><em><font color="#000000">This is a joint statement by <strong>War Resisters' International (WRI)</strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.ebco-beoc.org/">European Bureau for Conscientious Objection</a> (EBCO)</strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.ifor.org/#mission">International Fellowship of Reconciliation </a>(IFOR</strong>), and <strong><a href="https://en.connection-ev.org/">Connection e.V.</a>.</strong></font></em></p> <p><em><font color="#000000">---------</font></em></p> <p><a href="#sdendnote1anc" name="sdendnote1sym" id="sdendnote1sym">i</a><sup></sup><font color="#000000"><font face="Times-Roman, serif"><font size="2">European Parliament, Resolution on conscientious objection and alternative service, (</font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="TimesNewRoman, serif"><font size="2">Α</font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Times-Roman, serif"><font size="2">3-15/89), [known as Schmidbauer Resolution], as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities </font></font></font><font face="Times-Roman, serif"><font size="2">C291</font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Times-Roman, serif"><font size="2">, 13 October 1989, para. </font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="TimesNewRoman, serif"><font size="2">Α</font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="TimesNewRoman, serif"><font size="2"> </font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Times-Roman, serif"><font size="2">(page 123) and para. 4 (page 124).

href="https://wri-irg.org/en/story/2020/ecthr-judgement-russian-co-case-disregards-53-years-international-human-rights-standards">released a statement </a>on a problematic judgment by the European Court of Human Rights on the case of a Russian conscientious objector, Maksim Andreyevich Dyagilev. <strong>Read the statement <a href="https://wri-irg.org/en/story/2020/ecthr-judgement-russian-co-case-disregards-53-years-international-human-rights-standards">here</a>.</strong></p> <h2>Dyagilev's application for conscientious objection</h2> <p>Dyagilev, from Russia, applied for conscientious objection and alternative civilian service in September 2014. His application was dismissed by the local military commissariat in November same year, on the basis that the documents and information he had provided were "not sufficiently persuasive to conclude that he was a genuine pacifist". Dyagilev subsequently challenged that decision at the Russian courts which were dismissed as well. Eventually, in August 2016, Dyagilev brought the case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). </p> <h2>The ECtHR's judgment</h2> <p>In its <a href="https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng#{%22itemid%22:[%22001-201649%22]}">judgment</a> on 10th March 2020, the ECtHR, by four votes to three, found that there has been no violation of Article 9 of the European Convention of Human Rights (freedom of thought, belief and religion). Subsequently, Dyagilev's lawyers attempted to bring this judgment to the Grand Chamber, the highest body within the ECtHR, but their application was dismissed in September this year. </p> <p>In their statement, WRI, EBCO, IFOR and Connection e.V. criticised this decision by the ECtHR and said:</p> <p><em>"In this judgement, a small majority of judges found that the military recruitment commission </em>[which evaluated Dyagilev's initial application] <em>“satisfies the prima facie requirement of independence” despite the fact that three out of seven of its members are representatives of the Ministry of Defence. In this ECtHR judgement, a slim majority </em>[of judges]<em> disregards all other relevant international and regional human rights standards set by numerous UN and European institutions for more than half a century.</em></p> <p>The statement followed, <em>"in this case, the majority of ECtHR judges appear to ignore that “no court and no committee can examine a person’s conscience”, and that “in order to be recognized as a conscientious objector, a declaration setting out the individual's motives should suffice in order to obtain the status of conscientious objector”, as European Parliament’s resolutions have repeatedly stated for over 30 years."</em></p> <p>Highlighting multiple United Nations and Council of Europe procedures and resolutions, the statement concluded: <em><strong>this year’s ECtHR judgement in the Dyagilev v. Russia case contradicts longstanding international and regional human rights standards concerning the recognition of COs, as well as its’ own broader rationale on independence and impartiality.</strong> ... This ECtHR ruling, concerning a single case with specific characteristics, adopted by a majority of just one judge, and not examined by the Grand Chamber does not set a general precedent for Russia and cannot annul the growing jurisprudence on the right to conscientious objection to military service."</em></p> <p>Read the full statement <a

to young people, in which ways this militarisation is gendered, and how we can plan effective strategies countering these forces. The gathering was supported by the UK-based Network for Social Change and the facilitators network Turning the Tide.</p> <p>Following the training, War Resisters' International hosted a public forum on countering youth militarisation in different countries. The forum, held in Housmans Bookshop in London on 5th February, was joined by activists from the Czech Republic, Finland, Turkey and the UK. During the event, Hana Svačinková of Nesehnuti explained how the military influences education in Czech schools via the Ministry of Defence programme called POKOS (read more about POKOS <a href="https://antimili-youth.net/articles/2017/11/militarisation-youth-czech-republic">here</a>), and Minna Vähäsalo of Committee of 100 and Matias Kaskiluoto of AKL explained the role of conscription in the militarisation of Finnish society, as well as the problems conscientious objectors face in Finland today.
