The [[Canadian Paediatric Society]] (2015) issued a new statement regarding non-therapeutic circumcision of boys. This statement was prompted by the three seriously flawed HIV studies of adult males in Africa, that have now been disproved,<ref name="boyle-hill2011" /> and caused the retirement of the excellent previous 1996 statement.<ref name="cps1996">{{REFjournal | The [[Canadian Paediatric Society]] (2015) issued a new statement regarding non-therapeutic circumcision of boys.

The [https://www.knmg.nl 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 legal and regulatory environment that is increasingly unfriendly to practitioners of non-therapeutic male circumcision. It has little to say about the medical aspects of non-therapeutic circumcision. To its credit it cites the [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/42/contents#aofs Human Rights Act 1998] and calls for practitioners to respect the child's rights under that act. | 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 legal and regulatory environment that is increasingly unfriendly to practitioners of non-therapeutic male circumcision.
