International Conscientious Objectors Day is May 15. This year, please read and reflect on the very real dangers of resisting conscription in places affected by the Ukraine conflict:

Conscientious objection and desertion in Belarus, Russian Federation, and Ukraine

In #Belarus, #Russia, and #Ukraine, there are different regulations for #conscription, the right to conscientious objection as well as #military service and #desertion.

In none of the three countries is the human right to conscientious objection implemented in the way required by various international bodies and the #European Court of #HumanRights.
