The Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982), [https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/how-rights-protected/guide-canadian-charter-rights-freedoms.html#a2e Article 7] provides every Canadian with the right to security of the person.
In addition, Canada is a state-party to the United Nations ''Covenant on Civil and Political Rights '' (1966) and the ''Convention on the Rights of the Child '' (1989), both of which provide various rights to children, which are violated by non-therapeutic child circumcision.
Several decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada call consent for non-therapeutic circumcision of a child in question, but no case so far has ruled on the matter of circumcision.
