And The GOP Is Demanding The US Ambassador Oppose The UN Report.
'The report in question was presented to the UN Human Rights Council by the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) and 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."
"In addition to condemning laws, such as those in the United States, that prohibit socially deleterious industries and behaviors, including prostitution and narcotics use, the report also contains a recommendation on consensual sexual conduct"
The section they cite warns against criminalization of consensual sexual contact whether by marital status, gender identity, or sexual orientation, among other features. It also calls for legal age limits on sexual intercourse to be applied "in a non-discriminatory manner."
Then the report adds: "Moreover, 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."
"In contrast, there is a growing recognition for the need to protect children from sexual exploitation and has led to numerous nations raising the legal age of consent. This accurately reflects that children do not have the mental capacity to recognize the consequences of sexual intercourse and, given this understanding, the ability to make a knowing choice."
This UN report, however, seeks to lower the age in which adults can have sex with children.
A group of Republican senators is demanding that United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield condemn a report presented to the global body that they say "gives credence" to pedophiles while undermining safeguards protecting minors from sexual exploitation and abuse.
