→The guidance of the British Medical Association: Add text and citation.
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.
Lempert et al. (2022) criticized the 2019 BMA guidance for "serious weaknesses".<ref>{{REFjournal
