CHANCELLOR OF JUSTICE AS THE PREVENTIVE MECHANISM It was found that under the internal regulations of the North-East Defence District sick conscripts could not apply for a leave pass. The Chancellor recommended to amend the wording of the regulations, so as to make it possible to decide whether the health condition of a sick conscript enables them to use a leave pass or not. In other words, to ensure better compliance with fundamental rights and freedoms of the conscripts, the Chancellor recommended amending the legal regulation so that a decision whether to grant a leave pass to a sick conscript would be made upon consideration of the specific circumstances. The internal regulations appended to the reply by the commander of the North-East Defence District included the relevant amendment. 51
