EU Calls for More Censorship at UN Commission

By | 2026

UNITED NATIONS, April 3 (C-Fam) The European Union called for censorship on social policies like abortion, transgender issues, and migration in negotiations of the UN Commission on Population and Development.

The European Union is actively promoting censorship and AI regulation in ongoing negotiations for a UN resolution on “technology and research” to be adopted at the annual meeting of the commission later this month.

According to EU proposals, technology must “respect all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without discrimination in their design, use and regulation.” Technology regulation must also address “gender-based violence which occurs through or is amplified by the use of technology, all forms of hate speech and discrimination, misinformation and disinformation.”

This language is understood by EU regulators to require censorship of conservative views about abortion, marriage, the family, transgender treatments for minors, migration, and other controversial social policies.

The language the EU bureaucracy is promoting is based on the EU Digital Services Act and the EU AI Act. These EU laws require tech companies to actively suppress any views that EU bureaucrats say might undermine human rights.

The signature laws of the EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen ostensibly guarantee “that the same rights that people have offline must also be protected online.” This approach requires virtual reality to respect human rights set by the EU bureaucracy. Its premise is that governments aren’t just responsible for protecting individuals from violence in real life but also “online violence.”

This week, the EU Commission boasted on X  that major online platforms are complying with the latest EU speech and AI regulations. “Major online platforms have published their latest reports on tackling disinformation in EU countries,” the post states. “By turning voluntary codes into a legal benchmark under the Digital Services Act, we’re ensuring that big tech meets a high standard for safety and transparency.”

Even as the Trump administration has taken decisive actions to stop the federal government from censoring conservative views in the United States, the EU bureaucracy has ramped up censorship. Their laws are increasingly scrutinized in the United States. In February, the House Judiciary Committee published a report on how EU officials are trying to restrict the free speech of Americans through EU regulation.

For over forty years, Europeans have used the annual agreement of the UN population commission to promote abortion, sexual autonomy for children, and population control under the guise of “sexual and reproductive health.” The commission is the most controversial UN commission each year. It has only been able to reach an agreement in three of the last ten sessions because of contentious debates on social policy. The Trump administration has steadfastly opposed such policies.

This year’s focus on technology added a further flashpoint between the Europeans and the U.S. delegation over censorship and migration.

Population policies are vital for delegations from poor and less developed regions. Over $12 billion annually is spent on “sexual and reproductive health.” It is the largest single component of global health assistance. Developing countries need these funds to make pregnancy and birth safe for mothers and their children, as well as technologies to monitor vital registries, health, and immigration. Europeans see these needs of developing countries as an opportunity to westernize developing countries by promoting leftist sexual policies. In this context, technology is a tool to increase their influence and social control.
