The 2019 BMA guidance regarding non-therapeutic circumcision of boys is divided into twelve “cards”. Card Four discusses law. [[Human rights]] law is recognised but the BMA fail to understand the significance of [[human rights]] law. The BMA do not clearly state that [[human rights]] law grants rights to children which helps to define the best interests of the child and should be respected and protected.
