Art. 19 UN-CRC

Art. 19 UN-CRC (UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) reads (highlighting in the legal text by IntactiWiki):

UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Part 1
Art. 19 - Protection against the use of force, abuse, neglect

(1) States Parties shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has the care of the child.

(2) Such protective measures should, as appropriate, include effective procedures for the establishment of social programmes to provide necessary support for the child and for those who have the care of the child, as well as for other forms of prevention and for identification, reporting, referral, investigation, treatment and follow-up of instances of child maltreatment described heretofore, and, as appropriate, for judicial involvement.

IntactiWiki's non-binding comment:

(1) What else is genital mutilation in minors if not "physical [...] violence, injury or abuse"?
