The AAP has not recognized the [[human rights]] of children that were granted by the ''International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights'' (1966) and the ''Convention on the Rights of the Child'' (1989), nor has it recognized the legal right of children to [[physical integrity]].
The position of the AAP has varied over time, but at certain times it has been a leading advocate of medically-unnecessary [[genital mutilation]] of boys.
The AAP publishes [https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/ Pediatrics].
