Origin

2026 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 1, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly notes that, even where not ostensibly violent or extreme, the making and distribution of pornographic content almost invariably proceed and benefit from situations where participants are affected by violence, coercion and a lack of freedom, including situations of social or economic disadvantage or addiction or where participants have been victims of abuse, and may perpetuate these situations."
