I agree with Adam Island, and I would like to comment on a few points:
Quote: DEEPLY DISTURBED that in many Nations lack of quality sex education can lead, many times, to unplanned teen pregnancies and unnecessary abortion [/quote]
This resolution does not enforce quality sex education. It just urges members to give "information" about various sex topics.
Quote: OBSERVING that sex has two important functions: reproduction and pleasure[/quote]
Just because something brings pleasure is not a reason to teach it all over the world.
Quote: OBSERVING that sexual activity is a common activity, contributing to the happiness of many people, worldwide [/quote]
So what?
Quote: URGES all Nations to organize and secure some sexual education courses for all, before the age of 18-years[/quote]
Why 18? Many nations have a different age of consent. And human sexual organs are usually ready well before that age...
Quote: URGES all Nations to include in these courses, information about male sexuality, female sexuality, opposite-sex relationships, same-sex relationships, masturbation, birth control methods, abortion right, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases without any value judgment[/quote]
As I wrote earlier, I don't think "including information" makes students actually conscious of the possibilities and dangers regarding sexual intercourse.
Yuunli votes against this resolution, waiting for a better one.
