On November 13, 2015, the Defendant failed to enlist without justifiable grounds until December 18, 2015, 2015, on the ground that the notice of enlistment in active duty service was served on December 15, 2015 at the Gwangju-gu Yangnam District Military Manpower Office located in Gwangju-gu, Gwangju-ro 119-ro 8, 2015, for the reason that the Defendant violated the doctrine of sexual intercourse and invasion taught provided by a religious organization that is a religion that the Defendant is a believers, and that the date of enlistment was three days after the date of enlistment.

3. Determination

A. The lower court found the Defendant guilty of the instant facts charged on the ground that the refusal of enlistment on active duty based on a religious conscience does not constitute “justifiable cause” under Article 88(1) of the Military Service Act.

B. The so-called conscientious objection according to the relevant legal doctrine 1 as to the trial of the political party refers to refusing to perform the duty of military service involving participation in military training or arms on the ground of conscientious decision formed in religious, ethical, 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.
