WASHINGTON, DC, Apr 21 — Is the U.N. saying young children have a right to engage in consensual sex– including consensual sex with an adult? It certainly appears to have officially announced that the world needs to adopt a kinder, gentler approach to what is commonly known as “Statutory Rape” in the civilized world. If not, what does the United Nations mean when it publishes a declaration that: “sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them.”
The U.N. document, The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, is the handiwork of the International Committee of Jurists, the UNAIDS [the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS] and the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
It goes on to state that “Pursuant to their evolving capacities and progressive autonomy, persons under 18 years of age should participate in decisions affecting them, with due regard to their age, maturity, and best interests, and with specific attention to non-discrimination guarantees.” Although the report doesn’t overtly suggest sex with minors should be legalized, it claims that children younger than 18 years of age are capable of willingly having sex with older individuals, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
The paper goes on to quote Grace Melton who served as a public delegate on the U.S. delegation to the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women. It was led by former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley who told the Free Beacon, “this document advocates for a lot of troubling ideas and bad policies. Not only does it suggest that minors may be mature enough to consent to sexual activity, but it also asserts that ‘criminal law may not in any way impair’ the so-called right to abortion or to ‘gender-affirming care.’ [It] illustrates some of the consequences of the progressive left’s expansion of what constitutes ‘human rights’.”
As one observer put it, “Worse yet, the U.N. report effectively and insidiously provides adults who engage in sex with underage children an affirmative defense against committing statutory rape … Indeed, the report, in effect, suggests it is no longer criminal conduct and detracts from the protections accorded an under-age girl or boy against intimidation to say it was consensual.”
The reaction to the “The 8 March Principles” came under fire on the social media site, Twitter, says Fox News. In its coverage of the report, Fox quoted a Twitter post by women’s rights activist Michelle Uriarau of Melbourne, Australia, who wrote, “This hideous UN report … seeks to decriminalize sex — even between children and minors. Evil.” The report also quoted Canadian Olympic gold medalist Theo Fleury who succinctly declared, “The UN is full of pedophiles!!!!” As it shows, the U.N. report has sparked a major uproar as people in government continue to push their agenda and sexualize young children.

Predators comes to mind..changing current law so that some important people cannot be prosecuted…who is on Epsteins list?
We should immediately pull out of the UN and insist they move their headquarters to another country. Alternatively, if they want us to remain, they must agree to be governed solely by the US with representation from countries we approve.
The UN like western country’s are under the influence of Marxist they’ve been very busy. The long March !
The UN as it is now is evil and should be replaced
THIS IS A DISGRACE LET ALONE PATHETIC BY WHAT YOUR DOING I HOPE YOU HAVE A EXPLANATION FOR YOURSELVES WHEN YOU MEET GOD, I’M SURE WHATEVER IT IS YOUR GOING TO COOK ????
We need to get out of the UN. All they do is take our money and it’s a bunch of immoral perverts. All the rapist would have to say is ‘she consented’….even if she didn’t . Just because Bozo Biden likes little girls doesn’t make it legal.
This is what happens when the civilized world continues to concede influence and authority to lesser developed peoples’. This is not a bigot or racist statement, this is reality. Why are civilized nations “pushing” lesser civilized people into the spotlight and giving them more influence and authority? Is this all a part of the “great replacement theory” or is it simply a way for the few puppet masters to cripple the world and be able to control the masses? It’s bad enough that the US has turned into bizarro world but now the UN thinks it’s ok for “children” to give consent and have sex with adults.?.?.?.? This is called pedophilia and thankfully, we have laws against it. Just because some disgusting backwards thinking people think it is ok, it doesn’t mean it’s ok. As humans, we inherently know the difference between right and wrong regarding most things, and the masses know this is absolutely wrong. Notice the correlation between the trans, LGBT, etc. movement gaining more traction and support and nudges towards normalizing pedophilia occurring around the same time? Let adults do whatever they want, don’t try to destroy children’s lives simply because you’re a pervert.
Our US Supreme Court ruled several years ago, that treaties entered into by the U.S.A. of which we have one with the UN, take priority over US Law. If the UN passes a rule or regulation such as this (or the UN Small Arms Treaty meant to disarm our populace, but not yet ratified in the Senate) then those rules and regulations (Global Warming included) take priority over our own. The Socialist Environmentalist -pedophiles are happy now!
I agree with Theo Fleury’s comment, “The UN is full of pedophiles!!!!” And I dare say that applies to a lot of politicians located in D.C.
What they are trying to do is build a case for an affirmative defense for those with the last names of Epstein, Clinton, Biden, Gates and a host of others.
It is all considered “progress” by those of the “progressive” left. The ultimate goal is to divide and conquer as promoted by Karl Marx.
Then once divided the people of earth will be far easier to control by a one-world-government. And a one-world-government is the scenario needed to introduce the Anti-Christ.
I do not know how to stop this horrific dash into a living hell. In fact it may not be stoppable. It may be the fulfilment of prophecy. In which case the redeemed of the Lord don’t need to worry about it since the Rapture will remove them from this earth in the blink of an eye before the worst begins.
Then those left behind get to deal with the tribulation, which will be the living hell previously referenced.
There is one thing that can be done to ensure peace for the future. Humble yourself before the Lord, confess your sins, accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and live for Him in the manner which He taught us while He was here on earth. It won’t make this life any easier. But taking those steps will make eternity glorious beyond description.
I happened to run across this “report” the other day while I was digging around the UN website. I read the whole thing and I was ready to throw up. This is absolutely heinous and I can’t believe that people in a position of power would even dare to say it, let alone write it down. It just is more proof that these people are coming after our kids, one way or another! We have to watch our babies like a hawk!
The UN has long been a worthless organization that milks the USA for funds and does nothing to improve life for anyone. Many of us have long called for the USA to withdraw from the UN and kick the UN off USA soil. Now, they want to make life easier for pedophiles and sex traffickers. NO!
The U.N. needs to be shut down. A big drain on the U.S. economy with NOTHING good to show for it.
When the United Nations was first instituted, it was successful at being the “international overseer” in regard to world wide concerns that were shared by its member nations. But for the last several decades and especially now, they have become an international joke. In the past, they’ve put the worst human rights offending nations in the world on their “Human Rights Committee” and done very little to stop the atrocities that continue to take place in those same countries. There are still UN members, who are involved in slavery, human trafficking and genocide, etc. and the organization has done nothing to stop these offenses. In fact, they seem to favor the most egregious of these countries over all other members. And now, they have chosen to become progressively “woke” and foster all the degenerative behaviors of the far left and they are delusional enough to think the rest of the sane world will comply with their moral corruption. The United States, as a sovereign nation, can and should withdraw from the UN immediately and stop funding them. They should expel the headquarters of the organization from our country and let them go elsewhere. They are not an elected body–We, the People, never voted for their platform–and therefore, we can choose to ignore them. Perhaps, the citizens of this country should insist on a national referendum to send them packing. I’m sure Xi Jinping would be glad to set them up in Beijing.
Theo Fleury is a dumb jock. Someone ask him how horny he was a kid and as a teenager.
Theo Fleury is a hypocritical jock… I guarantee he wanted sex as a youngster from an attractive teacher.
YOUR GOING TO BURN ????
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt met with Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin in Tehran, Iran, in November 1943, he proposed an international organization comprising an assembly of all member states and a 10-member executive committee to discuss social and economic issues.
Think about these two characters who started the depraved organization. Roosevelt was a sycophant of the vile dictator Stalin.
Since its inception what has this institution ever done for the world? This proposal makes them on the level of Sodom and Gomorrah. Close down this organization now and use the UN Building for a hospital or parking garage.
The UN (without strong USA leadership) is Muslim controlled and guess what? Under Sharia Law sex and marriage with children is allowed!!!!
We now see pure evil staring us in the face. Nothing is beyond the imagination.
The UNs condoning of child rape is disgusting. The US just leaving the UN and kicking them out of the country does NOT go far enough! We need to dismantle it, rip it out by the roots if necessary and start over from scratch since it can’t be reformed.
WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT, I’VE NEVER USED PROFANITY OR BEEN OUT OF LINE
BUT IT’S OBVIOUS AS FREE SPEECH ISSUE
Jeffrey Epstein is smiling in Hell.
WICKED !!! WICKED !!! satan and his demons are laughing ????????????
So, now the Un-Natural organization is claiming to it all and be God.
Sodom and Gommorah here we come! God is not happy! Are we seeing the end times? Just asking?
un SUX AND IS A GLOBAL CANCER AS ARE ALL libs
The United Nothing!
UN=Unnecessary!
This is the next step after normalizing the trans mental illness.
Pedophilla will be considered a sexual peference
It’s official, the U.N. needs to be shut down, disbanded and totally defunded. What a bunch of disgusting, degenerate, pedophilic criminals. Human rights, indeed.
The UN has outlived its usefulness.
The U.N. is horribly sick. They should be kicked out of the U.S., we should cancel any agreements with them and let them and their world go to you know where.
The property that the UN is setting on is very valuable as a piece of real estate. The UN itself is both corrupt and worthless. New York City, among many other problems, has an atrocious parking space problem. Best use for the UN acreage would be to tear it all down and send the currupt membership back to their useless countries and then to build a huge parking garage on the site from which shuttle busses could transport people to and from the downtown area. An instant solution to two problems.
State law in over half of our states allows 16 year olds to give their consent to have sex with adults so we have a little work to do on the home front ourselves.
The United States needs to get out of the United Nations for once and for all!
Get outn of the U N and stay out. Then kick the U N out of the U S. . Kyle L.
The U.N. wants it legal to have sex with underaged (little) children (Beijing biden sniffing little girls hair), human trafficking, puking, urinate and defecate on streets, bath in streets, having sex (pimps and prostitutes) in streets, people shooting up drugs on streets, people sleeping on streets including on your yard and in front of businesses, homelessness, corruption, murder, rape, crime running rampant full force, and everything that is illegal and dangerous to society.
NO BS.
The U.N. want’s everything that is a crime made legal.
And Beijing biden gives full support on this by giving the U.N. another $Billion of our Tax Dollars to them (under guise of his Green Deal) in which I did NOT approve or Vote on for my Tax Dollars to be WASTED on.
This is the democrats (2024 presidential election) and U.N.’s Utopia World they are pushing so hard for and this is their solution for it.
I have said it for many decades…GET THE UNITED STATES OUT OF THE U.N..
I could see our government accepting it since they have ZERO morals and aparently want to do away with everyone elses. HOWEVER, there are a lot of registered sex offenders in America who’s big offense was heavy petting with their Sophomore girlfriend when they were seniors in high school and were caught by an angry daddy. That’s a high, lifetime price to pay for raging teenage hormones.
Why do we put up with this Socialist organization telling us what to do and think? Kick the U.N. out of that big building and fix it up for housing our homeless veterans. OUR VETS ARE WORTH MORE THAN THE U.N.!! No U.S. veteran should ever be on the street living in a damn tent!
it’s disgraceful. GET THE U.N. OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. THEY ARE NOT OUR ALLIES ANY LONGER!! THEY WANT TO RULE US.
The US needs to get out of the UN. Apply the savings to the defense budget.
Had the misfortune of working with the UN on one of their “missions” back in the mid-1990s. Up until that time I had been a UN supporter. NO LONGER!!! What I witnessed at that time was willful sexual abuse of CHILDREN by UN workers who partied nearly every night, enjoying alcohol and delicacies shipped in from around the world, all on money given them by donors and taxpayers of member countries. They partied all night, got out of bed around noon the next day, ate lunch, “worked” for a handful of hours, took naps, ate dinner, then headed out for the next party. They would crash a vehicle, park it in a parking lot and requisition another one. As best i could tell, very little was done to provide the humanitarian relief that was part of their “mission”. They were despised by the locals and, as best I could see, by the member-nation armed forces there to support them. Were there “good” UN workers? Of course, but they seemed unwilling or unable to prevent the activities I am describing. I’ve talked to others who were in positions similar to mine at different UN missions in other parts of the world during other periods. They reported experiencing the same or very similar observations. The UN is EVIL and needs to be eliminated or, at the very least, removed from the US.
The same people who want to have say over our gun rights. Bas..taar…dos!
Seems like we hear daily some UN idiots being in some village, raping and pillaging.
We have raised kids, coached for 29 years with high school age kids. When they decide they have a “crush”, and they had sex with the older person, and then the crush is gone, is it now no longer consensual? Teens and children live for the moment. Let not the politicians ruin their childhood. Let them be kids without worry some MAP will destroy any chance to just be a kid.
Man amac you suck at censoring comments as bad as you let pedophiles write for your crappy health insurance scam lol
Leftists have now rebranded pedophiles as “minor-attracted persons (MAP)” They have long approved of kiddie porn through their legal arm (ACLU) and are now mutilating children under the DELUSION that one can change his sex!
As for the creep posting below: persons in either party can commit sex crimes but ONLY ONE party officially endorses them!,
And Demonrat Joe Biden can’t keep his hands off little girls.
Why are we even still in the UN? We need to get out, they do nothing for us. We should be able to vote on that too. They do like our $$$$ though.
At what point did the U.S.A abdicate our legal responsibility to our citizens to the U.N.? I understand Biden is a lazy, lying dope, but this is idiotic.
What can you expect from the UN. They are thugs at best. The US should have kicked them out of the country years ago and stopped all payment.
