What, you thought I was serious?
While it does need a rewording, what surprises me most is that 1,363 actually voted to keep pedophilia.

False. They voted against the resolution, but that does not mean they wanted to 'keep pedophilia'. They may have thought:
- it wasn't something the UN needed to legislate on
- it wasn't written well enough
- it wasn't extensive enough
- it was wrongly categorised
Some of these arguments are mentioned here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Outlaw_Pedophilia); the original proposal of Fantasan (of which I have no record) and subsequent Child Protection Act of Stephistan (Resolution #25) should also be considered.

Not even in the Grand and Ancient Archives of the Most Admirable Deeds and Feats of the United Nations?

They may have been purged; such threads were waaay before my time. You can probably find some by digging around using Search.

Or perhaps they knew the meaning of the word 'pedophilia'?

Sadly, a recent study showed that 94.2% of the contents of GAAMADFUN have fallen victim to that fate and are now unreadable.

The debates on Resolution #25 have been lost to the great Purges of the United Nations Forum. However, I still vaguely remember them. The most coherent opponent was Stephistan, who felt that the narrow scope of my resolution would by implication permit other forms of child abuse.
Also, that NSwiki article was written over two years ago, so it's probably a more accurate reflection of history than anything I still remember now.

Well, yeah. Drive-by posters happen. Still, the history reminder is nice. And it's nice to see Goober materialize again, heh.

Much as I appreciate the good intentions behind the rushed submission and eventual passage of this resolution, I would support its removal from the UN statute and possibly a sensitive replacement that specifically targets child abuse and is more careful with terminology.
