The delimitation of cases where conscientious objection applies as justification to exempt from criminal liability, in the event of non-compliance with legal duties or obligations, generates a criminal sanction; taking into account the moral and subjective rights that accompany them; therefore, it is not a legal fact because it is recognized by law, but respect for one's own identity is recognized. The objective of the study was to determine how the regulation of conscientious objection as a defense against criminal responsibility would help to declare no criminal responsibility; For this, a basic, non-experimental type study with a quantitative approach was carried out, as well as the application of a duly validated questionnaire to a sample of 60 professionals with knowledge in criminal law. The results showed that conscientious objection must be considered a fundamental right that must be protected and contained in the constitution. In conclusion, we are faced with a constitutionally recognized right, linking it with the principle of immunity from coercion with the right to freedom of conscience and the right to dignity.
