Pakistan Rejects ‘Baseless’ Inclusion to U.S. Child Soldier Recruitment List In statement, Foreign Office calls upon American authorities to review assertions of TIP report Pakistan’s Foreign Office on Friday categorically rejected the country’s “unsubstantiated and baseless” inclusion to the U.S.’ Child Soldiers Prevention Act (CSPA) list, urging Washington to review the “baseless” claims of the annual Trafficking in Persons Report. “Pakistan does not support any non-state armed group; nor any entity recruiting or using child soldiers,” read the statement issued by spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri. “Pakistan’s efforts in fighting non-state armed groups including terrorist entities are well recognized. The inclusion of Pakistan in the ‘CSPA List’ depicts a factual error and lack of understanding,” it said, adding that no Pakistani institutions had been consulted prior to the publication of the report, nor were “any details provided of the basis on which the conclusion was reached.”
