Dr. [[Arif Bhimji]] (2000) applied international [[human rights]] law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to the practice of non-therapeutic child circumcision. He concluded:
<blockquote>
Circumcision of male infants is a clear violation of the rights guaranteed to all persons by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Furthermore, the practice contravenes [[human rights ]] legislation on provincial and international levels.<ref name="bhimji2000">{{REFjournal

The CMA code has two statements relevant to the non-therapeutic circumcision of male infants:
* Never participate in or support practices that violate basic [[human rights]].
* Never participate in or condone the practice of torture or any form of cruel, inhuman, or degrading procedure.<ref name="cma2018">{{REFdocument
