We have several ways of removing Conscription already, most notably #184 (which, yeah, is "people are complaining about this policy"... it's an old issue before modern writing guidelines were developed), #810, and #956 (fairly similar to your premise: conscription getting way of citizens doing other important stuff).

Anyway, I know it's a very niche case, but would an issue responding to a WA condemnation beAnother version could also be written responding to a commendation, but there's less nationwide discussion coming from people saying "you are doing well" as opposed to the international community telling the nation that they are doing something wrong.
- A good idea
- Able to be implemented (i.e. can WA condemnations be tracked by the issue validity code)
- and is it feasible given the extremely small population of condemned nations?

Darn… I really wanted to write that issue. Oh well, thanks for checking for me!
Wait, before I go: are there any other policy reversals that haven’t been written yet?

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

It'd be too much work, and we'd have to get the admins involved to code a new validity for us.
And it wouldn't be interesting - the majority of those condemned are condemned for Gameplay or R/D purposes. They generally have a limited or no interest at all in issues.
