New UN-backed legal recommendations normalize sex with minors, outraged critics say

A shocking report issued by international legal experts with the backing of the United Nations appears to open the floodgates to normalize sex with minors. 

“Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law,” the Geneva-based International Commission of Jurists wrote in March with an assist from UNAIDS and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The report is titled “The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty.”

It is published front-and-center on the group’s website.

It does not actively call for decriminalizing sex between adults and minors. But it states that children have both the capacity and the legal right to make sexual decisions.

“According to the United Nations, children may consent to sex with adults. This has been the plan all along,” social media influencer Ian Miles Cheong tweeted over the weekend to his 538,000 followers.

The report does not offer a suggested age of sexual consent. 

It was released on March 8 in recognition of International Womenโ€™s Day, the commission states online, suggesting there is a connection between women’s rights and age of sexual consent.

The once-unthinkable recommendations from an international cabal of global elite legal minds appears to suggest that pedophilia could be normalized. 

It touched off a horrified reaction on social media around the world.

“The UN is full of pedophiles!!!!” former NHL star and Canadian Olympic gold medalist Theo Fleury shouted on Twitter.

“This hideous UN report โ€ฆ seeks to decriminalize sex โ€” even between children and minors. Evil,” tweeted womenโ€™s rights activist Michelle Uriarau of Melbourne, Australia. 

She notes that its publication on International Womenโ€™s Day succeeded in “gaslighting women everywhere.”

The International Commission of Jurists added in its report, “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.”

It said further, “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.”
