  GENITAL MUTILATION OF CHILDEN IS TORTURE

  

  Van Lewis is a pioneer in the defense of children being tortured and a leading crusader on the behalf of all children in defending genital integrity. His courageous leadership will be missed.

  Van Lewis was webmaster of the http://montagunocircpetition.org website and lead the signature collection initiative at The 11th International Symposium on Circumcision, Genital Integrity, and Human Rights held at Berkeley CA 29-31 July 2010 that called upon Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Chairman Senate Judiciary Committee to enforce the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, which the Obama Administration has failed to enforce and would provide equal protection for male children given to female children under PL 104-208

  Genital Mutilation of Children is Torture II
  http://ttfuture.org/files/2/pdf/GM-R_Children_Resolution.pdf

  At the First International Symposium on Circumcision in Anaheim, CA (1989), I was honored to introduce the Universal Declaration on Circumcision Excision, and Incision, which declared the genital mutilation of children an act of torture that was in violation of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which states: .No child shall be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.. (Articles 2 and 37, respectively), and by other Articles of these international treaties. This Resolution was passed unanimously by the General Assembly and again by he Fourth International Symposium on Sexual Mutilations,
 University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland, August 9-11, 1996.

  These actions formed the foundation of the continuing actions by NOCIRC and The Ashley Montagu Resolution that has been so forcibly represented by Van Lewis over the years.  Van Lewis will be missed.

  All members of the Genital Integrity Community are encouraged to honor Van Lewis by writing Senator Leahy to act on this Petition and on behalf of all children of the World.
