1 Conscription
conscription exists
According to some sources there is no conscription. [4] [7]
Other sources maintain, however, that selective conscription applies, or that recruitment is voluntary but augmented by a form of conscription. [2] [3]
As Bhutan is such a closed society, it is hard to work out just how far military service is compulsory. Recruitment methods on local (village) level can be described as a form of conscription. (see: recruitment)
There is no clear legal basis for conscription.
