They recognised that their role could be in starting economic initiatives so that recruitment did not seem like the only option in order to achieve families' financial stability. Having offered workshops on peace culture, nonviolence, and conscientious objection, in the early 2000s the conscientious objection group recognised that many young people were actually joining armed forces for economic reasons. The young people of Sincelejo faced forced recruitment by the state army, rebel groups, and the paramilitary over many years. Gandhians would call such initiatives 'constructive programmes'.Įxamples of these programmes include a conscientious objection group in Sincelejo, the capital of the Colombian department of Sucre, in the Caribbean region. These expressions can also happen in a more public and external way, by initiating activities that productively work outside the violence of the current system as far as possible: showing how it can be done. These are all outward expressions of the internal political approach of the group. This might include using consensus decision making, using nonviolent language, ensuring a diversity of gender identities are affirmed, etc. This can happen both in terms of how the groups organise internally: how they make decisions, what actions they take and their membership. 1Īntimilitarist conscientious objection is only part of a journey towards a demilitarised communal life, and many conscientious objection groups endeavour to create that world in the shell of this one. Hannah Brock details some of the 'constructive programmes' which conscientious objection movements have historically developed as alternatives to militarist 'solutions' for social problems.
