The World Health Organization has reconsidered its position regarding male [[circumcision]]. It published a new 42-page position statement in the Spring of 2026. The description of the [[foreskin]] is seriously deficient in its discussion of the [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| functions of the foreskin]]. The statement is silent regarding the adverse, harmful [[Sexual injury of circumcision| sexual]] and [[Psychological injury of male circumcision| psychological]] effects of male circumcision. It is also silent regarding [[human rights]] and [[Ethics of non-therapeutic child circumcision| ethical]] issues. It seems to be more of a political document with something for all than a medical document.<ref>{{REFbook | The World Health Organization (WHO) has reconsidered its position regarding male [[circumcision]].
