General mobilization is announced only when the country is at war, said lawyer Alexander Karabanov.
In this case, citizens who are on military registration receive summonses demanding their arrival at the military commissariat, where they are assigned to a specific military unit, the Moscow lawyer shared the details.
During a special military operation (SVO), mobilization cannot be carried out, Karabanov explained.
According to the lawyer, persons who have served in the army, as well as those who graduated from higher educational institutions with a military department, are on military registration. Those who are related to law enforcement agencies are also registered: the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the TFR, the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
“If, for example, a person is 27 years old and has not served, he will still be considered as a person in the reserve. All citizens of military age will have to receive a summons to appear at the military enlistment office and register as the first stage of mobilization,” the human rights activist explained.
As the human rights activist noted, the amendments adopted by the deputies to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation will more strictly regulate the processes taking place during their own.
Based on the new norms, only persons who have already taken the oath and redistributed to military units will be subject to criminal liability, the new draft law does not concern the draft dodgers, the candidate of Legal Sciences summarized.
Earlier, deputies of the lower house of the Russian parliament adopted in the 2nd and 3rd readings a law with amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation introducing responsibility for desertion, looting and surrender. Thus, the code included such concepts as “mobilization”, “martial law”, as well as “wartime”.
