In March, UNAIDS and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), two agencies within the United Nations, along with the International Committee of Jurists (ICJ) published a group of “new legal principles” that would advance “decriminalization efforts” globally, and principal 16 stated “sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual.”
The principles were the product of a 2018 workshop between the three organizations and developed over the next five years “based on feedback and reviews from a range of experts and stakeholder,” according to the UNAIDS website. The principles’ goal was to push decriminalization globally for a wide range of actions, including sexual conduct.
Principle 16, titled “consensual sexual conduct, read, “Consensual sexual conduct, irrespective of the type of sexual activity, the sex/ gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of the people involved or their marital status, may not be criminalized in any circumstances. Consensual same-sex, as well as consensual different-sex sexual relations, or consensual sexual relations with or between trans, non-binary and other gender-diverse people, or outside marriage — whether pre-marital or extramarital — may, therefore, never be criminalized.”
“With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage.
“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. 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.”
The Law and Policy Director at ICJ, Ian Seiderman, said, “Criminal law is among the harshest of tools at the disposal of the State to exert control over individuals…as such, it ought to be a measure of last resort however, globally, there has been a growing trend towards overcriminalization. We must acknowledge that these laws not only violate human rights, but the fundamental principles of criminal law themselves.”
According to the ICJ website, the group is “Composed of 60 eminent judges and lawyers from all regions of the world.”
“The International Commission of Jurists promotes and protects human rights through the Rule of Law, by using its unique legal expertise to develop and strengthen national and international justice systems,” according to their mission statement.
The principles were published in a document 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.

The UN , a Globalist tool. They just keep trying to push and be in CONTROL of laws that WE THE PEOPLE and other countries do NOT want. Time to drop out of the UN, we would save a lot of money.
Put a gun to a person’s head and the consent comes quickly. Put a sexually purchased Democrat vote in front of a sick twisted pervert and the consent, and the sale comes just as quickly. Just how cheaply can you sell the soul of an innocent child? Apparently as fast as you can trade a vote for an immediate sexual gratification. Now the governments would act the part of the pimp? This is definitely more socially regressive than progressive, but they will call it progressive all the same. Soon the humans who have degenerated into animals will be placing the sexual sanctify of their pets into jeopardy. When human behavior degenerates below that of the animals, that is the definition of REGRESSION, not progression.
ALL because the UN itself is filled with perverts!
more of the agenda of Satan.
You can bet Biden is all tingling thinking of a way to have this UN rule apply in The USA. He’s drooling about sharing his ice cream with toddlers as they all splash naked in the kiddie pool with him getting his leg hairs admired.
*** is our World coming to? God WILL SMOTE us down for this type of stuff.
According to the ICJ website, the group is “Composed of 60 eminent judges and lawyers from all regions of the world.”. YES ALL OF THEM WERE CHARTER MEMBERS OF EPSTEIN’S ISLAND!
