Pedophilia is when an individual seeks sexual gratification from children. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child defines a child as anyone under
Pedophilia is a scientific term, not a fricking legal term, and has been clearly and scientifically defined well before the UN ever decided to notice pedophilia.
"Pedophilia (alternatively spelt paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children."
"prepubescent"
As in, before puberty. Not, "before 18, because that number doesn't make my skin crawl".
If you are outraged, be outraged. It's your feelings and are welcome to them. But words have meaning, and you ought to use them correctly.

Which is why I offered rebuttal.

Like when it was acceptable to sleep with 10-16 year olds? A 16 year old is a child, supported by 195 countries.

This is an outdated definition, pedophilia is no longer synonymous with a disorder. However, criteria for the diagnosis you referenced is “any adult expressing sexual interest in children (eg. engaging a child sexually)”.
Child rights protections are nothing to do with puberty and everything to do with mental development. There are people who quite literally never go through puberty, if you need more reasoning for why using it as a go/no go is asinine.
But if you really want to defend the “if it bleeds it breeds” reasoning, feel free to frick right off.
