The essence of the changes lies in modifying Appendix 5 to the Procedure for Conducting Conscription during Mobilization regarding categories of persons who have the right to deferment. The terminology is changing from “missing” to “missing under special circumstances” and a new category of persons with the right to deferment is added – persons for whom the fact of deprivation of personal freedom due to armed aggression has been established.
Structurally, the resolution introduces two key changes to paragraph 2 of Appendix 5:
1. Modification of the wording in subparagraph 4
2. Supplementation with a new subparagraph 6 defining a new category of persons and the document confirming the right to deferment
The most important aspects for practical application are:
– Persons who were in captivity now have the right to deferment (with an extract from the relevant register)
– Updated terminology regarding missing persons has been brought in line with current legislation
– The document confirming the right to deferment for the new category is an extract from the Unified Register of Persons for Whom the Fact of Deprivation of Personal Freedom Has Been Established
