In the last four years, scientific research aimed at new legal trends that go beyond the existing legal regulation has intensified in Ukraine. That is how, with the beginning of the war, a problematic situation arose with the legal institution of alternative non-military service, which is provided for in the Constitution of Ukraine as a legal means of replacing the performance of military duty with non-military service based on religious beliefs. Currently, there is no consensus in the state regarding the legal nature of the institution of alternative non-military service and the rights provided for by it, the scope of application of special legislation, the implementation mechanism in a special period during mobilization, the grounds and procedure for limiting the relevant subjective rights, and many other aspects related to important issues of ensuring the country’s defense capability in its national interests. In view of this, the article is devoted to the study of the legal nature of the right to conscientiously refuse military service on the grounds of religious beliefs and the grounds for limiting the right in the special conditions of martial law. The purpose of the article is the doctrinal substantiation of the legal nature of the right to conscientiously refuse military service on the grounds of religious beliefs, its place in the system of constitutional human rights and special conditions of limitation on the basis of the concept of private law of the European tradition, the principle of the rule of law. Based on the results of the study, the conclusions were drawn: by its legal nature, the right to conscientiously refuse military service on the grounds of religious beliefs is an absolute subjective right with a non-property content, which derives from the fundamental and constitutional right to freedom of outlook and religion; the source of the right to refuse military service is the value of the “sovereignty of a private person”, and not the will of the state; from a formal and legal point of view, the restriction of constitutional rights should be at the level of the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine, not special laws
