UN POPULATION FUND MAKES A HIGHFALUTIN PROPOSAL (Letter to Dom Post, November 21)

Quite possibly, a ‘weak United Nations flounders as dictators continue to flourish’ (November 21) because its bureaucracy’s preoccupations include such peace-making imperatives as delivering a ‘demographic dividend’ to a world that’s younger now than ever before.  

Such a highfalutin proposal suggests a similarly absurd means to the end, and it’s this: the UN Population Fund recommends making abortions freely available to adolescents, removing all age of consent, prostitution and drug laws, and reducing parents’ involvement in their children’s sex education.  

With such pressing business on the table, it looks like the under-employed members of the UN war crimes tribunals have been given more important work to do.
