==Non-therapeutic circumcision and Australian law==
Australia is a state-party to the United Nations ''[https://www.ohchr.org/EN/ProfessionalInterest/Pages/CCPR.aspx Covenant on Civil and Political Rights]'' (1966) and to the United Nations ''Convention on the Rights of the Child'' (1989), both of which provide various [[human rights]] to children, which are violated by non-therapeutic child circumcision.
The legality of non-therapeutic circumcision of boys has been considered several times.
