The Portuguese Constitutional Court rejected the appeal filed by the National Conscientious Objection Commission against a specific provision of the 1992 Law on Military Service. The court determined that the norm allowing conscientious objectors to be exempted from military service does not violate the Constitution. Consequently, the court ruled that the law remains valid and the appeal was denied.
