===Legal area===
The following initiative by the Ministry of Family Affairs to include children's rights in the Basic Law deserves approval:
"The state community respects, protects and promotes the rights and well-being of the child and ensures child-friendly living conditions. In all state action concerning children, the best interests of the child must be taken into account. Before a State decision concerning his or her rights, every child shall have the right to be heard by the competent authority and to have his or her opinion taken into account in accordance with his or her age and maturity."
If this amendment to the Basic Law is not to remain symbolic, but to be effective, the comprehensive permission for foreskin amputations in parental rights must be revoked.
Politics and legislation must fully support the sentence: Genital integrity is a human right of all children.
The possibility of legal action of those affected – also against their own parents as well as against the circumcisers – must be restored immediately. It cannot be the case that those affected cannot claim compensation even in the event of the most serious consequences.
Already at present the following regulation must be made:
The child, even as an adult – based on the rules of the StORMG – should have the right to revoke the consent of the parents. If the circumcised person exercises this right, this constitutes a liability for damages on the part of the custodians. The circumcisor is liable for negligence, also in the clarification of the custodians and the child.
Dies gilt auch, wenn keine vollumfängliche und am Kindeswohl orientierte Aufklärung dokumentiert ist.
