The World Assembly
Noting that a military is the line of defense against military actions against a member state,
Knowing that members usually need a military to defend them,
Percieving a military to be necessary for WA member states to protect their inhabitants from non-member nations' aggressive and deplorable actions,
Not wishing to allow member nations to wantonly or irresponsibly draft unwilling people for the military,
Enacts:
1)World Assembly member nations may force able citizens to undergo a basic military training course for a limited time. This time shall not be in excess of what is needed to instill basic military competency. These courses shall begin at one fixed time in a year; but there may also be no courses at all in a year. As soon as half of all participants from a year(counted from the start of the training) have passed the military training course shall be ended with failure for those from that year who have not unless the participant and the state expressly consent to do otherwise. The course shall also end in failure if it has not been passed after one year has passed unless the participant and the state expressly consent to do otherwise(and it shall then be deemed voluntary service).
These military trainees must not serve outside their nation without their express consent, and no one may be forced to undergo basic military training courses more than once, and they shall not serve in actual combat duties against an enemy force without their express consent.
After conclusion of that course they shall no longer be considered to be serving in the military unless consenting to serve or being forced to serve under 2).
2)World Assembly member nations may force able inhabitants to serve in the military against their will as long as the following are satisfied:
2a)There are not enough consenting citizens to serve for the tasks needed.
2b)The time serving is restricted to the time their service is necessary.
2c) There is evidence that this time of service is reasonably deemed necessary and sufficient to evacuate a number of sapient inhabitants greater than the number of citizens conscripted for the task
and
These sapient inhabitants are being evacuated to prevent them from being targeted from acts of genocide or other war crimes by an approaching army known for committing those, or known for being willing to commit those.
3)Those who are already serving in the military(outside of times of involuntary service) and no longer consent to serve in the military shall have their service shortened in the following way:
If they are serving on a military sea vessel they must serve until the next allied port if their service is necessary for the safe operation of the sea vessel.
If they are engaging in a stealth mission they must serve until the stealth mission is over.
Following that, and under other circumstances, they must be discharged as follows:
No longer voluntarily serving shall not be a reason for downgrading the service performance or court action.
They may continue to serve formally(but not actively) to allow an accurate service performance evaluation taking no more time than reasonable.
They may be forced to continue serving formally(but not actively) if they are under investigation and/or on trial for military crimes.
4) Involuntary military service other than provided for in 1) 2) and 3) is prohibited in all member nations.
5) "citizens" in this law include inhabitants that do not have citizenship elsewhere and are not part of a foreign diplomatic mission.
