Pornography : How To Get It Off The Internet Internationally

Let's Get Pornography Off the Web!Nations have an obligation, under international human rights law, to prohibit or outlaw the production, distribution, dissemination, possession, and use of child pornography, and adult image based sexual abuse, violent, torture, extreme, and nonconsensual pornography worldwide. Actions should be taken by nations working together to shut down the extreme pornography industry.Chapter One discusses reasons to regulate pornography. Chapter Two presents approaches to defining pornography. Chapter Three details the obligations of states under international human rights treaties, universal jurisdiction, international norms, jus cogens, obligations erga omnes, customary international law, and due diligence. Chapter Four covers how current international treaties and committees regulate pornography and the obligations of states under such treaties. Chapter Five focuses on whether or not certain types of pornography can be considered torture under international law. Chapter Six makes suggestions regarding how to shut down the pornography industry and makes proposals for change. A wide variety of civil lawsuit possibilities exist, in individual nations, for survivors of sexual abuse, including of pornography-related harms, to use to obtain damages and reparation for their injuries. These, as well as the harms of pornography, were addressed at length in my 1989 encyclopedia, Sourcebook On Pornography. These legal theories include assault, battery, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, defamation, invasion of privacy, copyright violations, injunctive relief, sex discrimination, sexual harassment, stalking, laws prohibiting revenge pornography, civil organized crime and racketeering claims, strict products liability, and the right to be forgotten theory. Civil remedies can provide the means to make pornography production and dissemination non-profitable, which would cause the industry to cease such activities.
