(C-Fam, New York<\/a>) Western countries want to remove the term \u201cchild pornography\u201d from a UN Cybercrime Convention. They further want to eliminate some forms of engagement with child porn in a list of criminal acts.<\/p>\n

Last month, UN member states began negotiating an\u00a0international convention to combat cybercrime<\/a>\u00a0that is intended to increase collaboration among member states to go after cybercrime. However, some Western countries are promoting a new standard for child pornography that may leave children unprotected from sexual exploitation.<\/p>\n

The U.S., UK, and EU want to remove the term \u201cchild pornography\u201d from the convention and replace it with \u201conline child sexual abuse\u201d or \u201cchild sexual exploitation material.\u201d<\/p>\n

This new language is the result of a multi-year campaign by advocates and UN agencies to target sexual abuse in the\u00a0making<\/em>\u00a0of pornographic material, and not just the possession and transmission of child pornography. The Friday Fax previously reported that some experts argue this\u00a0change<\/a>\u00a0is problematic. Some UN agencies and Western governments are using this as an occasion to promote a broader agenda of sexual autonomy for adolescents.<\/p>\n

By their own admission, UN agencies say the new terminology might exclude certain sexual materials involving children, such as consensual sexting between adolescents or other sexually suggestive content, in the process making it harder to prosecute some images that would otherwise be considered child pornography.\u00a0Some UN agencies say this is desirable in order to \u201cde-stigmatize\u201d sexual behavior between adolescents and to distinguish between legal and illegal pornography.<\/p>\n

In a statement to the Friday Fax, an EU representative said that producing such material would include both broadcasting and publishing.<\/p>\n

Online access to pornography not only contributes to child abuse but also to sex trafficking…<\/p>\n
