CONSCIENCE CLAUSE There is no legal norm regulating the conscience clause in
journalistic matters. However, on April 18, 1989 the Supreme Court
of Justice of the Nation recognized religious conscientious objection
in the ?Portillo? case and, by extension, made its establishment
possible to other areas such as journalism. The court said, ?The possible injury to the legitimate beliefs
of a citizen, which are caused by the legal obligation to serve
in the armed forces, reaches not only those who profess a particular
cult, but also those who, having a hierarchy in their ethical values,
give special priority to not putting the life of a fellow man at
risk. ?The civil liberty as established by the Constitution extends
to all human beings by virtue of being just that, and not by their
belonging to specific groups or by their profession of faith with
respect to the ideals that can be considered of the majority.?
