I live in Sweden with a strong history of conscription. I've never seen any serious opposition to conscription on ethical grounds. My impression is that it is the same in the other Nordic countries?
I'd be surprised if there was a "huge opposition" in Switzerland or Israel, two other countries with a strong history of conscription.
I also haven't seen any international human rights law against conscription?

That is reason why women got voting rights in 1970 in Switzerland, they were worried about conscription.
Israel has a huge orthodox religious community that opposes conscription. Army is just for liberal idiots!
