Germany is experiencing a record surge in conscientious objector applications, driven by a new law reinstating military conscription. The number of applicants has skyrocketed from fewer than 200 in 2020 to nearly 4,000 in 2025. In the first months of 2026 alone, 2,656 refusals have already been recorded, putting the nation on track for its highest annual total since conscription was suspended. The report suggests Germany may soon establish its own military recruitment centers, potentially with guidance from Ukrainian counterparts.
