The General Assembly adopted the ''International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights'' (ICCPR) in 1966. That Covenant, which is international law, has several provisions, which are applicable to the circumcision of children.
Articles 7, 9, and 24 are applicable to circumcision. Each nation that is a state-party under the ICCPR, which took effect in 1976, pledges to enforce those rights for its citizens.
