ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON: Pakistan on Friday categorically rejected the ‘unsubstantiated and baseless’ inclusion of Pakistan in the Child Soldiers Prevention Act (CSPA) List published in US State Department’s Annual Trafficking in Persons Report 2021.
The Foreign Office spokesperson, in a statement, said that 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 on which the conclusion was reached,” the spokesperson added.
