CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS SUBMITTED BY STATES PARTIES UNDER ARTICLE 40 OF THE COVENANT

 

Concluding observations of the Human Rights Committee

 

RUSSIA

 

CCPR/C/RUS/CO/6
29 October 2009

23. While welcoming the reduction by half, in 2008, of the prescribed length of civilian service for conscientious objectors from 42 months to 21 months, the Committee notes with concern that it is still 1.75 times longer than military service, and that the State party maintains the position that the discrimination suffered by conscientious objectors is due to such alternative service being a “preferential treatment” (para. 151, CCPR/C/RUS/6). The Committee notes with regret that the conditions of service for alternative service are punitive in nature, including the requirement to perform such services outside places of permanent residence, the receipt of low salaries, which are below the subsistence level for those who are assigned to work in social organisations, and the restrictions in freedom of movement for the persons concerned. The Committee is also concerned that the assessment of applications, carried out by a draft panel for such service, is under the control of the Ministry of Defence. (arts. 18, 19, 21, 22 and 25)

 

The State party should recognize fully the right to conscientious objection, and ensure that the length and the nature of this alternative to military service does not have a punitive character. The State party should also consider placing the assessment of applications for conscientious objector status entirely under the control of civilian authorities.

* 언젠가 다시 대체복무제도 논의가 재개됐을 때를 생각하여 옮겨놓는다. The Human Rights Committee는 자유권규약위원회이고, Human Rights Council 은 유엔인권이사회이다. 늘 헷갈린다;; 위에 최종견해는 자유권위원회 97차 회기에서 나온 것임. 2006년 가을에 한국정부에 권고한 것이 88차였는데 아마 내년쯤엔 다시 한국정부 리포트 심사가 돌아올 때가 된것 같기도 하고..
