Connection e.V. presents analysis: Federal High Court attacks basic right to conscientious objection

(12.03.2025) On January 16, 2025, the German Federal High Court (BGH) issued a decision (Decision 4 ARs 11/24) on the question of whether a Ukrainian citizen could be extradited even though he had declared that he was a conscientious objector, and Ukraine had suspended the right to conscientious objection in the event of war. In Ukraine, the conscientious objector is therefore threatened with conscription into the war and, if he refuses, years in prison.

Three years ago, Russia attacked Ukraine, resulting in devastating consequences. Yet, there are also hundreds of thousands of individuals in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine who have refused to participate in the war. What is the state of their right to conscientious objection? What about their protection?

CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION IS A HUMAN RIGHT! EVERYWHERE!

Hi, I’m Judith. We are standing here on Kornmarkt, at the very beginning of Human Rights Street. The weather is really nice, but the theme of our demonstration is quite cold and not very pleasant. There are more than 20 armed conflicts and wars in the world, and there are many people who do not want to participate in these wars. There is a human right to consciously refuse military service, and that is why we are here to demand that this right be realized. So that people who don’t want to fight can find protection and refuge with us. Later we will continue from the Kornmarkt to the Federal Migration Office and demonstrate in front of this office.
