| Message | As Article 1 is dependent on mandatory service being enacted ["required to perform military service (if applicable)"], and Article 2 removes mandatory service, Article 1 would then be not binding (not applicable), as there would be no required military or national service to conscientiously object to. Therefore, changing the policy in Article 1 is more to affirm clarity than to truly reform the policy itself. |

| Message | The civilian national service is not military service. Civilian service is usually performed in the service of non-profit governmental bodies or other institutions. For example, in healthcare facilities and retirement homes. |
