UNICEF: “Freedom of Expression Should Be Restricted”

loli-bunny-girl-in-classroom

The head of UNICEF has condemned Japan for failing to pass tougher anti-loli laws, dismissing concerns about human rights out of hand: “If it causes harm to children, freedom of expression should be restricted.”

UNICEF’s Executive Director Ann Veneman, an American career bureaucrat, made the remarks in a press conference, saying that Japan’s failure to pass more draconian laws was “a violation of the rights of children” and that it “allowed access to people in other countries,” apparently ignoring the fact that distributing pornography involving minors online or otherwise is already quite illegal in Japan.

Japan already rigourously enforces bans on the making and distribution of pornography featuring participants under the age of 18, and the efforts of the LDP to secure an even more wide reaching ban on “simple possession” were widely castigated as being unnecessary and likely to be abused; in the end the bill was defeated.

It should be noted that the UNICEF in question is the “real” UNICEF, and part of the UN proper, whereas Agnes Chan’s UNICEF Japan is actually an independent Japanese organisation which merely uses the UNICEF name (with permission) to give itself an aura of legitimacy and encourage donations; UNICEF Japan has nothing to do with the UN.
