+The Royal Dutch Medical Association {KNMG) published a statement regarding the non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors in 2010. The Netherlands is a nation where [[human rights]] are respected,<ref name="smith1998">{{REFweb

 The [https://www.bma.org.uk/ British Medical Association] 28-page statement (2019) focuses on legal and ethical advice to its fellows to help keep them out of trouble in a regulatory environment that is unfriendly to practitioners of non-therapeutic male circumcision. It has little to say about the medical aspects of non-therapeutic circumcision.
