description Disputing of the existing conscription commitments in Switzerland (and in almost all western countries), traditionally restricted to men, is conspicuous. To date in this area practically nothing has changed, even though in Switzerland the conscription of women, on a voluntary basis, occurs with no statutory limitation. The paper analyzes the relationship of the conscription and gender in the past and today. Also a question is explored of whether the restriction of conscription to men is at all acceptable from the legal and political perspective?.
