wikify genital autonomy
1. All peoples have the right of self-determination, "By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
Self-determination is the right to decide for one's self. This provides for [[genital autonomy]], which is the right to decide for one's self if one's genitals are to be surgically altered. [[Genital autonomy ]] is provided by delaying a non-therapeutic surgical operation on a child until the child is of age at which he or she can decide for one's self.
====Article seven====
==Let the child decide==
The [[Declaration of Helsinki (2012)]] declared the ''right of [[genital autonomy]]'', which derives from the right of every human being to ''security of person''. Svoboda (2015) reports there now is an emerging consensus that a decision to perform a non-therapeutic circumcision should be deferred until the child is of age and can decide for himself about having an [[amputation]] of his [[foreskin]].<ref name="svoboda2015">{{REFjournal
