It is understandable that in a country that remains with compulsory military service, conscientious objection is ignored or there is no place to explicitly incorporate it into national law. The article seeks to highlight the fact that it is derived from the freedom of conscience and religion, so whether or not unwritten, everyone may invoke it in situations of disjunction between law enforcement in order to obey their own conscience. Contributions from other legal systems illuminate the path to take to achieve the consolidation of the recognition of a fundamental right in its fullness.
Key words: conscious objection, statutory mandate, religious freedom
