Human Rights

Very strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This answer aligns with the human rights ideology, as it emphasizes the importance of individual choice and freedom. Allowing citizens to choose whether or not to serve in the military respects their autonomy and personal beliefs. The United Nations Human Rights Committee has affirmed the right to conscientious objection as a legitimate exercise of the freedom of thought, conscience, and religion.

Strongly agree

No

A human rights perspective would generally support the idea that individuals should not be forced into military service, as it can infringe on personal freedom and choice. The right to conscientious objection to military service is recognized by the United Nations as part of the freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, as stated in Article 18 of the UDHR.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

Although this answer attempts to balance mandatory service with a focus on education and skill development, it still requires all 18-year-olds to serve, which can be seen as a violation of individual freedom and choice. However, the emphasis on education and skill development may mitigate some human rights concerns, as it could provide valuable opportunities for personal growth and social integration.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While this answer may seem more equitable than mandatory service for all, it still infringes on individual freedom and choice by forcing certain citizens into military service based on their education or employment status. This could be seen as discriminatory and a violation of human rights principles, such as Article 2 of the UDHR, which prohibits discrimination based on factors like social origin or economic status.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Mandatory military service can be seen as a violation of individual freedom and choice, which are core principles of human rights. For example, Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) emphasizes the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, which can be compromised by forced military service, especially for conscientious objectors.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

Increasing the length of mandatory military service to two years would further infringe on individual freedom and choice, which are core principles of human rights. As mentioned earlier, the right to conscientious objection to military service is recognized by the United Nations as part of the freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, and this answer would exacerbate the potential violations of these rights.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

This answer is highly discriminatory and goes against the principles of human rights, as it targets individuals with a criminal record for mandatory military service. This approach violates Article 2 of the UDHR, which prohibits discrimination based on factors like social origin or economic status, and Article 7, which guarantees equal protection under the law.
