UN report cites anti-male discrimination concerns in Croatia’s military conscription law

Article here. Excerpt:

'The UPR is a unique UN mechanism that examines the human rights situation in every member state every five years. A working group of 47 countries bases its recommendations on three key documents: the National Report submitted by the member state, the Compilation of UN Information, and the Summary of Stakeholder Submissions, which includes relevant contributions from the Ombudsperson and civil society organizations.

The report highlights a warning from the Center for Economic Education (CEE) that the Defense Act discriminates against men by legally obligating them to perform military service solely on the basis of sex. This, the CEE notes, restricts men’s personal liberty and imposes sex-based obligations, while simultaneously disparaging the value of women’s contribution to the armed forces.'
