Origin
2026 - First part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 7, insert the following paragraph:

“The Assembly underlines that parents, guardians, educators, social workers and health professionals acting in good faith, without coercion or abuse, shall not be subject to criminal or punitive measures for expressing disagreement, exercising professional judgement or providing non-directive support.”

Explanatory note

This amendment restores legal certainty and prevents the resolution from functioning as an instrument of ideological enforcement against families and professionals.
