''We declare'' that consistent with the Right of Genital Autonomy the only person who may consent to medically unnecessary genital modification and other irreversible reproductive interventions is:
* in the case of a person who is competent to give free and [[informed consent]], being fully informed about the nature, the risks and benefits of the intervention – the person undergoing the intervention; and
* in the case of an incompetent person including a young child – only a properly constituted public authority or tribunal appointed to balance the [[human rights]] and the best interests of the person after considering the views of family members, professionals, and an independent advocate for the person.
