In telephone interviews on 14 and 26 August 1996, a lawyer with the Centre for AntiWar Action, a nongovernmental human rights organization in Belgrade, stated that the current legislation on alternative military service is comprised of several articles of the 28 October 1993 Law on Military of Yugoslavia, and article 137 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The DIRB has a copy in Serbo-Croatian of the relevant articles of the 28 October 1993 law; this copy, which was faxed to the DIRB by the Center for AntiWar Action, is available upon request. For a copy of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, please consult Constitutions of the Countries of the World, which is available at Regional Documentation Centres.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
