The Human Rights Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia (hereinafter: Ombudsman) found that the Ministry of Public Administration (MPA) failed to ensure the reappointment of the previous commission after its mandate expired, thereby failing to fulfil its legal obligation. This situation constituted a violation of the principle of administrative efficiency and the right to a legal remedy, as guaranteed by articles 2 and 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia.

Following the Ombudsman's intervention, the MPA verified the legal and factual situation, convened an interdepartmental meeting and prepared government materials for the establishment of a new commission. On 26 September 2025, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted the Decree on the Establishment of the Commission of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia for Conscientious Objection to Military Duty (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 73/2025), thereby eliminating the identified deficiency. The Ombudsman welcomes the measures taken and expects the MJU to ensure the appointment of members of the commission as soon as possible and the continuation of decision-making on the complaints filed. The complaint was assessed as justified, and the Ombudsman's intervention as successful.
