Litigation over circumcision

Add section.
For example, [[William Stowell]], as a young adult, brought a suit against the doctor who performed his infant non-therapeutic circumcision and the hospital where the circumcision occurred. The suit resulted in an out-of-court settlement.
==Suits to enforce and protect Constitutional and human rights==
While this will vary from country to country, Non-therapeutic circumcision of male infants violates various constitutional and [[human rights]]. The [[Cologne circumcision court judgment]] (''Köln Oberlandgerict'') found in May 2012 that such non-therapeutic circumcision violates the Bill of Rights of Germany's Basic Law (''Grundgesetz'')<ref>LG Köln, 07.05.2012 - 151 Ns 169/11</ref> Lawsuits brought in other nations presumably would reach a similar conclusion.
 
Such lawsuits are mostly theoretical at this time.
