Jainism advocates individual freedom. Further, it teaches that each individual is responsible for his/her own decisions and actions in all aspects of life. Thus if an individual believes in nonviolence and holds that wars involve unnecessary violence and that they do not lead to lasting resolutions of disputes and conflicts, he/she has the prerogative to be a conscientious objector.
