3. Determination

A. The so-called conscientious objection according to the legal doctrine on conscientious objection and the so-called conscientious objection mean refusing to perform the duty of military service accompanied by participation in military training or arms on the grounds of conscientious decision formed in religious, ethical, moral, and philosophical or other similar motives.

Article 88(1) of the Military Service Act provides that a person shall be punished by imprisonment with prison labor for not more than three years for refusal of enlistment in active service.

In the Constitution, there is no emphasis on the national security, the new duty of national defense, and the duty of national defense given to the people.

If there is no existence of the nation, the foundation of guaranteeing fundamental rights will collapse.

The duty of military service specified in the duty of national defense shall be faithfully performed, and the military administration shall also be fairly and strictly executed.

Inasmuch as the Constitution guarantees the freedom of conscience, such value should not be neglected.

Therefore, the issue of whether conscientious objection is permitted is the conflict adjustment between fundamental rights such as the freedom of conscience under Article 19 of the Constitution and the duty of national defense under Article 39 of the Constitution.

However, the restriction on the freedom of conscience realization by passive omission is based on conscience.
