The Judgement of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands

dated April 26, 2000, NR. 33.734

With Regard to an Appeal to Conscientious Objections Against the Payment of Taxes so far as Designated for Military Purposes

by Erik Hummels, Zeist, NL, August 6, 2000

The Supreme Court has shut the door for an appeal to conscientious objections. The Legislators must bring relief. In the US a bill has been introduced in Congress, in which bill the counterarguments of a constitutional and fiscal-legal nature against such a provision have been taken into account.
