In 2013, children's ombudsmen from [[Sweden]], Norway, [[Finland]], [[Denmark]], and Iceland, along with the Chair of the Danish Children's Council and the children's spokesperson for Greenland, passed a resolution that emphasized the decision to be circumcised should belong to the individual, who should be able to give informed consent.<ref name="resolution2">{{REFweb
