AT meeting Oslo last week, Nordic ombudsmen for children, paediatricians, and paediatric surgeons agreed a resolution urging their national governments to work for a ban on non-therapeutic circumcision of under-age boys.
According to this report, the children’s ombudsmen from the five Nordic countries – 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 to:
Let boys decide for themselves whether they want to be circumcised.
The ombudsmen concluded that:
Circumcision without a medical indication on a person unable to provide informed consent conflicts with basic principles of medical ethics.
