The Constitutional Court of Portugal rejected the appeal filed by the National Commission of Conscientious Objection against a specific provision of the Law on Military Service. The court determined that the challenged norm, which regulates exemptions for conscientious objectors, does not violate constitutional principles. Consequently, the court ruled that the law remains valid and the applicant's request for non-constitutionality was unfounded.
