Strafbarkeit der Knabenbeschneidung? (Criminal liability for circumcision of boys?) was the title of a conference on 7 April 2022 at the University of Lucerne, which, in the university research focus "Change in the family in the context of migration and globalization", provided a legal appreciation of the medically non-indicated circumcision attempted on boys who were incapable of discernment against the background of medical and theological perspectives.
