The Constitutional Court of Portugal denied the appeal filed by a soldier against the National Commission of Conscientious Objection. The applicant argued that the state failed to provide adequate alternatives to military service, violating his constitutional rights. The court ruled that the existing legal framework sufficiently addresses conscientious objection without requiring additional state measures.
