Traditionally few people challenged the distinction between
absolute and selective conscientious objection by those being asked
to carry out military duties. The former is an objection to
fighting all wars - a position generally respected and accommodated
by democratic states, while the latter is an objection to a
specific war or conflict - theoretically and practically a much
harder idea to accept and embrace for military institutions.
However, a decade of conflict not clearly aligned to vital national
interests combined with recent acts of selective conscientious
objection by members of the military have led some to reappraise
the situation and argue that selective conscientious objection
ought to be legally recognised and permitted. Political, social and
philosophical factors lie behind this new interest which together
mean that the time is ripe for a fresh and thorough evaluation of
the topic. This book brings together arguments for and against
selective conscientious objection, as well as case studies
examining how different countries deal with those who claim the
status of selective conscientious objectors. As such, it sheds new
light on a topic of increasing importance to those concerned with
military ethics and public policy, within military institutions,
government, and academia.
