From the page: "Over the past week Finland has observed two national days on which their flag has been hoisted up the country's countless flagpoles, yet today the flag won't be flying in observance of International Conscientious Objectors' Day."

A well-thought-out and fairly balanced view of conscientious objection from the point of view of Finland.

Over the past week Finland has observed two national days on which their flag has been hoisted up the country's countless flagpoles, yet today the flag won't be flying in observance of International Conscientious Objectors' Day. Like myself at first, you may be wondering what that is, why they deserve a day and why I am going to look at little Finland.
