The vague definitions allow a wide-reaching and bizarre interpretation of the treaty.
For example:
Constantinople Treaty wrote:“domestic violence” shall mean all acts of physical, sexual, psychological or economic violence that occur within the family or domestic unit or between former or current spouses or partners, whether or not the perpetrator shares or has shared the same residence with the victim;
c“gender” shall mean the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for women and men;
unwanted verbal, non-verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature with the purpose or effect of violating the dignity of a person, in particular when creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment, is subject to criminal or other legal sanction.
The second clause is the sinister one. At
no point does the treaty
ever define a woman by the actual definition of a woman, which is
biological sex. Gender is a social construct in the sense that society, religion, and culture set gender roles. The treaty's definition of gender is correct, and that is the danger. Every reference to the definition of woman uses "gender".
There is no such thing as "economic violence". I would bet the farm that "psychological violence" doesn't just mean gaslighting. With a particularly activist mindset, there is no limit to what this could do (e.g. using "stress" or "fear of not having enough money to feed the kid" as a grounds to murder the fetus, which is already done).
Furthermore, the treaty orders sweeping, vague, and undefined mandates on its signatories to preserve, among other things, "refugee status" and "gender identity". Prohibiting discrimination against those suffering from Gender Identity Disorder requires the indulgence of their dysphoria and resulting costumes, which means nothing can be segregated by sex. To accomodate GID, all sex-based segregation must fall and men must be allowed into women's bathrooms, and to cheat in women's sports, and vice-versa.
In today's world, we don't talk about real refugees or potential refugees like the Vietnamese after the war, or the Christians in China, or every person living in Hong Kong, the Rohingas, the Uyghurs, or the Yazidis, or any minority religion whatsoever in any Muslim country practicing Shariah Hell. The economic migrants invading Europe refuse to become European, they impose their beliefs, which are seen by civilized men as backwards and savage, on others, and they have contributed to a surge of violence, particularly against women. These people should not receive special status.
Then comes the prohibition on things "offensive to a person", the undefined definition of "dignity" and "humiliation", and more. In America, this was the Trojan horse used to fabricate homosexual marriage in breach of states' rights. Based entirely on emotion and feelings, Kennedy decided that same-sex unions must be forced because denying them such "offends their D I G N I T Y and D E G R A D E S T H E M". That is not what law is built on. No one has a right to be protected from offense. You should not criminalize simply saying mean things.
When Bill O'Reily loudly and repeatedly called that woman "hot chocolate", he was NOT committing sexual. All he was doing was being a rude, insensitive jerk, but he was lynched for it. Being too cowardly to fight, he resigned. Under this treaty, a man could be arrested
for catcalling, as the treaty empowers its signatories to prosecute everything in that definition.
In short, it is a blank check for social liberalism.
THAT is why Poland withdrew.
