Penalties on conscience : an examination of the defaulters' detention system in New Zealand

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "The stand the conscientious objector makes is of two-fold significance, It is a protest against war and leads inevitably to conflict with the State, as war and preparation for war necessitate control and disposal of the life of the citizen and infringement of his personal freedom at many points. This conflict cannot be resolved in a fundamental way without the abolition of war.

    Those who wish to see a world community in which the individual can attain his full dignity, must therefore seek to bring about a warless world by transforming the social systems and modes of thought that make for war."--introduction.
