PRINCIPLE 16 – CONSENSUAL SEXUAL CONDUCT
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 premarital 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.
In short, it comes down to this: according to the principles of the UN, if a toddler, child, teenager 17+ indicates that he/she/it considers sex with an adult okay ( or has found it okay, if the act has already taken place ), that adult can never again be prosecuted and punished for pedophilia and/or rape. In this way, pedophilia is legalized by this NGO and wrapped in fancy new paper, which the pedo party in the Netherlands - among others -will applaud. They too are in favor of legalizing pedophilia.
The UN charter is not binding on member states, but as we have often seen in the past, countries often follow guidelines or recommendations and adapt their own legislation.
In Belgium, children up to the age of 12 are not empowered to speak. From the age of 12, they have the right to have a say ( for example with which of their divorced parents they mainly want to live ). By extension, from the age of 12 a child can therefore consent to sex with an adult.
However, if the age limit for a child's empowerment is pulled down to 6-8 years, any child of that age can basically consent to sex.
Where is the problem?
A child's brain is not fully mature until around the age of 25.
Children do not have the mental capacity to comprehend, understand and consent knowledgeably to everything they are confronted with. Moreover, children are easy prey for manipulative influence and conditioning precisely because their brains are not yet fully mature.
