Opinion - Carine Knapen
I have received quite a number of times the screenshot below which, reportedly, is going viral on social media. Frankly, I am annoyed by Dr Malone's quote that, according to the UN, children "should have "sex partners.
This is NOT correct. There is nothing at all that they should.
The UN report does NOT say that children "should have " sex partners. The report says that underage children can consent to sex and consensual sexual behavior, regardless of the type of sexual behavior, cannot be criminalized.
It is bad enough in itself that the UN issues such guidelines without realizing that children do not have the maturity to be able to make such informed choices and in doing so, it also immediately undermines parental authority completely.
Until further notice, children are in the care of their parents until the age of 18. In certain cases determined by law, children can be emancipated via a procedure from the age of 15, e.g. for marriage or other reasons that justify emancipation -18 years ( the child then becomes autonomous ).
In Belgium, the legal minimum age of consent to sex is set at 14 on condition that the sex partner is no more than 5 years older. This is explicitly stated in the Penal Code. The legislator brought the age of consent forward by 2 years in 2018 ( previously it was 16 years ). So in Belgium, sex with children -14 years old is still punishable. The same applies to children +14 if the sex partner is more than 5 years older ( ie older than 19, 20,21 according to the age of the child ).
On 17 article 2023, the UN report with interpretation in three languages was published on wwhisper. You can find this article using the search function. Click either at the top of this article or on the home page of the information channel on the magnifying glass and type the keyword "UN ", then all articles on the UN will appear ).
Below again the relevant text of the UN report ( translation ) :
"PRINCIPLE 16 - CONSENSUAL SEXUAL BEHAVIOR
Consensual sexual behavior, regardless of the type of sexual activity, the gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of the persons concerned or their marital status, should not be criminalized under any circumstances.
Consensual same-sex sexual relations, as well as consensual opposite-sex sexual relations, or consensual sexual relations with or between transsexual, non-binary and other gender diverse people, or outside marriage - before marriage or outside marriage - can, therefore, never be criminalized.
As for criminal law enforcement, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex should be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement should not be linked to the sex of the participants or the age of consent to marriage.
Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons younger than the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may in fact be consensual, if not by law."
It is accurate that the UN ( and WHO and WEF ) promotes pedophilia between the lines but critics should not lapse into propaganda and falsehoods. This is always to the detriment of their own credibility and immediately undermines the whole movement which is already suffering badly enough. Let us stick to the facts, which are already terrible in themselves without magnifying them any further or taking them out of context.
