Art. 14 UN-CRC (UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) reads (highlighting in the legal text by IntactiWiki):
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Part 1
Art. 14 - Freedom of thought, conscience and religion[1](1) States Parties shall respect the right of the child to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
(2) States Parties shall respect the rights and duties of the parents and, when applicable, legal guardians, to provide direction to the child in the exercise of his or her right in a manner consistent with the evolving capacities of the child.
(3) Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs may be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary to protect public safety, order, health or morals, or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others.
IntactiWiki's non-binding comment:
- (1) Children have the unrestricted right to their own religious freedom. Religious "branding" through religiously motivated genital mutilation prevents one's own freedom of religion.
- (2) Leading children in a developmental manner to exercise their own right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion does not include genital mutilation.
- (3) For children as well as for adults it goes without saying that one's own right ends where it violates the right of another.
