The AAP, in association with [[ACOG]] and [[AAFP]], issued a circumcision policy statement in 2012. That statement was heavily criticized by many due to its obvious [[bias ]] toward obtaining and preserving [[third-party payment]] for non-therapeutic child circumcision.<ref name="doc2013">{{REFweb

'''The AAP policy regarding its statements is to give each statement a five-year life, after which the statement expires unless it is reaffirmed. The 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement has not been reaffirmed, so it expired in 2017. As of 2020, the AAP has had no official circumcision policy for three years.'''
Although the patients of the fellows of the AAP are children, the AAP consistently has failed to acknowledge the [[human rights]] of its child patients.<ref name="doc2013" />
