A/HRC/9/24 page 6 15. In terms of national trends regarding conscription, the picture is mixed. It has been reported that a number of countries are considering suspending (Croatia), ending conscription (Georgia, Morocco), or have decided to end it (Bulgaria, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Lebanon, Romania, Ukraine). However, some countries are considering introducing conscription or have already done so (Cambodia, Jordan, Uganda). It has also been reported that some States, such as Norway and Sweden, with military conscription for men are considering the possibility of making military service mandatory for women as well.7 16. OHCHR is in the process of preparing a publication on conscientious objection to military service and the related subject of alternative service programmes for persons determined to be conscientious objectors. This publication will consolidate, in one source, applicable law and jurisprudence. It will also take note of resolutions and recommendations adopted by intergovernmental bodies at the international and regional levels. It will contain examples of practice at the national level with a view to illustrating different national approaches to implementation relating to this subject. The goal of the publication will be to provide guidance to States, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, human rights advisers, lawyers and academics on the applicable law and practice on this subject. A two-day expert meeting was held in November 2006 with a view to preparing the publication. ----- 7 CO Update Nos. 25-39 (issues December 2006 to May/June 2008); see the website http://wri-rg.org.
