MALE AND FEMALE CIRCUMCISION, HUMAN RIGHTS, Anastasios Zavales Presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Sexual Mutilations, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland, August 9-11, 1996. The world community is increasingly educated on crimes against humanity, in particular, about individuals practicing genital mutilation, commonly termed circumcision" Genital mutilation affects more than 2 million girl-child victims and more than 13.5 million boy-child victims annually throughout the world. Every two seconds, one child-victim endures genital destruction and sexual torture as cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment. The global proliferation of genital mutilation by circumcisers torturing child-victims incorporates atypical human rights violations: body-dysmorphic disorders, genital destruction, psycho-social impairment, and spiritual death. Universal human rights codes of ethics establish the working definitions, protocols, and provisos of recognizing all victims of genital intolerance and sexual discrimination by advocating grassroots justice. Human rights principles and corrective actions incriminate genital mutilators and their accomplices whose evils deny millions of children their reproductive rights to genital integrity and restitution, and sexual liberation. Through the systemic history of the United Nations, human rights precedents develop for identifying and reporting international violations of genital mutilation. The mutually-inclusive concepts of gender equality and gender equity categorically recognize the diverse UN "factors and difficulties" of abolishing circumcision. Human rights standards and practices register, as expressed through

Luers Over the past year, and with the release of the latest Volcker Report, criticism of the United Nations has swelled in the American media and on Capitol Hill. These public attacks reached a crescendo this past week that is almost without precedent in the long troubling history of America's struggle to determine how the United Nations system fits into its relationship with the world. We all know many of the reasons for America's traditional ambivalence toward the United Nations: the American sense of its unique and exceptional position in the world; the lack of American public understanding of international organizations; and the sense that "the UN" is chronically opposed to and unappreciative of US actions. But, how should we react to the current level of criticism facing us? ACKNOWLEDGE SHORTCOMINGS.
