"Not necessarily. If the nation was being invaded, many citizens wouldn't want to sign up for the draft but would be needed to protect the nation. Unless you are suggesting that, if a nation doesn't have enough military volunteers, it should just surrender to any oppressive nation that wishes to invade it? I think, in many WA nations, the citizens would be much happier fighting a war than being oppressed by another nation, even if the citizens don't realize that fact at the time."
OOC: Take, for example, the American draft in WWII. I hope you're not suggesting that the US should have let itself be attacked at Pearl Harbor simply because it's military volunteer force wasn't large enough. Or that it should have allowed Hitler to invade all of Europe and kill millions of people because some men were too lazy to volunteer.

"I do so enjoy hearing about reality from theocrats. Tell me more about this 'god' character, isn't it said that it is omnipotent? Could it perhaps create a stone that it could not throw?
In any case, in the real world, we do not allow Member States to engage in violations of sapient rights."
OOC: God has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion and I'm not going to engage in threadjacking on the subject. If you wish to discuss God, tg me. I'll be more than happy to present proof of His existence.
IC: "A random draft is not a violation of human rights. Male citizens of a country have a certain duty to their country, whether they like it or not (excepting religious and moral dissenters, of course)."
"Then I'll suggest a proposal on ensuring a truly random draft. That is one issue that may be of international importance."
