English term or phrase: The legal formulations are very exact
Scrutiny of the laws prohibiting female genital cutting in various Western countries makes it obvious that it is difficult to ban female genital cutting while condoning genital cosmetic surgery.

agree  Martin Riordan: Acho que "disposições" é o melhor termo para "formulations" neste contexto.
