قانون الخدمة الوطنية (التجنيد الالزامي البريطاني الدائم في السلم ١٩٤٧

Abstract EN

Britain passed the National Service act and called up able-bodied men between the age of 18 and 41.

when it announced joining WWII on September 3.

1939.

It continued making amendments to this act throughout the war to include both genders up to the age of 50.

The intention was to bring more manpower to support armed forces in the front lines on one hand and laborers of the war industry on the other.

Although WWII ended and those who participated in the war were demobbed, there were two problems : 1.

Britain continued enforcing standardized conscription upon its citizens.

especially after passing the National Service Act in 1947.

which became a crucial issue in Britain's political arguments because it was passed during peacetime.

2.

It was passed by the British government headed by the Labor Party which was most opposed to passing the Act during peacetime.

The study was divided into an introduction and three chapters : the first chapter was titled as "The continuation of the Military service after the end of WWII".

It discussed the most important reasons and political circumstances for continuing using conscription which required passing a new act.

The second one was titled as "Introducing the National Service Act to the House of Commons on November 18.

1946".

It talked about the opposing and supporting discussions of the parliament inside the House of Commons.

Whereas the third chapter was titled as "The legislation of the National Service Act of 1947".

It clarified the political agreement between the three main British parties and the government.

which passed the Act in May 1947.

The study also reached some conclusions that were discussed at the end of the study.
