Pakistan rejects inclusion in US child soldiers' recruiter list - Newspaper

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday categorically rejected the “unsubstantiated and baseless” inclusion of Pakistan in the Child Soldiers Preven­tion Act (CSPA) List published in the US State Department’s Annual Trafficking in Persons Report 2021.
The Foreign Office spokesperson, in a statement, said Pakistan did not support any non-state armed group, nor any entity recruiting or using child soldiers. Pakistan’s efforts in fighting non-state armed groups, including terrorist entities, are well-recognised, he added.
The inclusion of Pakistan in the CSPA List depicts a factual error and lack of understanding. No state institution was consulted by the US prior to the publication of the report, nor were any details provided on the basis of which the conclusion was reached, the spokesperson added.
