“The international community faces ever growing phenomena that transcend borders. I am specifically referring to terrorism, transnational organized crime, the global drug problem, corruption, traffic in persons, sexual exploitation, trafficking of children and adolescents, and smuggling of arms, among others.”

“Children who willingly participate in sexual acts have the right to make that decision as well, even if it's distasteful to us personally.
