Mit großer Mehrheit hat das EU-Parlament die Einführung einer einheitlichen strafrechtlichen Definition von Vergewaltigung gefordert. Das klare Einverständnis für sexuelle Handlungen soll darin verankert werden. Von T. Spickhofen.
Also bei all den kritischen Kommentaren hier kann ich wirklich nur empfehlen, sich den verabschiedeten Text mal durchzulesen. Schlüsselpunkte:
Calls on the Commission to propose, without delay, legislation establishing an EU-wide
definition of rape that is based on the requirement of freely given, informed consent that
can be withdrawn, in line with Article 36 of the Istanbul Convention;
[…]
Stresses that only a clear, affirmative, freely given and unambiguous indication of
consent is valid and that silence, a lack of verbal or physical resistance or the absence of
a ‘no’ cannot be interpreted as consent, and that prior consent, past sexual conduct or
any past or present relationship with an offender, including marital or any other
partnership status, does not imply ongoing or future consent for any sexual acts; stresses
that consent can be withdrawn at any time before or during a sexual act; notes that
consent can be expressed in any way as long as it is given voluntarily as a result of the
person’s free will and is assessed in the context of the surrounding circumstances, in
accordance with Article 36 of the Istanbul Convention;
Underlines that consent must be assessed in the context of the surrounding
circumstances, recognising that consent cannot be given where there is violence, threat,
surprise, deceit, an abuse of power, including control, coercion, a physical or mental
condition, such as a state of fear, intimidation, unconsciousness, freezing caused by fear
or trauma, intoxication, chemical submission, sleep, illness, bodily injury, disability or
in an otherwise particularly vulnerable situation, or age; acknowledges that such states
can prevent the ability to give voluntary and informed consent;

Gibt es jemanden, der das ernsthaft nicht für eine sinnvolle Basis hält?
Ich Frage mich auch, was daran auszusetzen ist.
