DISINFO: The Lanzarote Convention is about defiling children
SUMMARY
The Lanzarote Convention is about defiling children. The title of the convention is a veil. In reality, this is about defiling. Only a paedophile can write such a thing. A tolerance to perversions will be imposed on our children.
RESPONSE
The disinformation message consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Western moral decay, as well as about imposing on countries international conventions and laws that destroy the moral foundations of traditional societies.
The Council of Europe Convention on Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse, also known as “the Lanzarote Convention”, requires criminalisation of all kinds of sexual offences against children. It sets out that states in Europe and beyond shall adopt specific legislation and take measures to prevent sexual violence, to protect child victims and to prosecute perpetrators.
The Convention is a major step forward in the prevention of sexual offences against children, the prosecution of perpetrators and the protection of child victims. Protecting children is at the heart of this convention. It focuses throughout on respect for children’s rights, ensuring their well-being, responding to their views, needs and concerns, and acting at all times in their best interests.
All 47 Council of Europe member states have signed and 45 states have ratified the Convention.
