- Double-weighted statement
- The output merits double-weighted as it involved large-scale collection and analysis of a large body of material, in particular case law and other legal primary sources, from several jurisdictions (US (Federal and all 50 states), Canada (and all its 10 Provinces) and UK (including relevant sources of EU and ECHR law). This large scale analysis was needed to prove a hitherto unmade argument, i.e. that there is now consensus on the existence of a legal right to conscientiously object to any legal obligation whatsoever and that the right is equally available to religious and non-religious objectors.
