Tribal NGOs Consortium, Child Rights Movement FATA and National Action and Coordination Group FATA strongly condemn abduction of a teen aged son of Akhunzada Chattan a former member of parliament of Pakistan from Bajaur Agency FATA and a leader of Pakistan Peoples Party. Using of children in war or to coerce some one to leave what opponents do not like to see is a great crime. Pakistan as a state is signatory to UN Convention on the Right of Child but situations of children in Pakistan is worst. Pakistan has not yet signed optional protocols where children are banned to be used in armed conflicts. Pakistan should accelerate its efforts to stop perpetrators to use children for war purposes. Pakistan also does not send its human rights related situation report and especially that of children to UN Human Rights Committee for Universal Periodic Review. Situations of FATA is worst and human rights record is unsatisfactory. This needs to be straightened as human rights and children rights are universal and all countries have a responsibility to use good offices to secure our children from clutches of criminals and terrorists whose agenda is anti human and anti children.
