BACARES JARA, Camilo. Children and Adolescents Demobilized from Illegal Armed Groups in Colombia: ¿Victims of Political Violence or Perpetrators of the Crime?. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.2, pp.233-262. ISSN 0124-0579.  https://doi.org/10.12804/esj17.02.2015.07.

This paper is concerned with questioning the definition that make the laws, 782, 2002 and 1448, 2011 children and adolescents as victims of political violence with the firm purpose to explain and argue such a position where it comes from and why it is urgent to understand and apply. This, travels the social, political and legal factors that prompted the recognition of veterans childhoods as victims of war and generates an argument for this view as opposed recognition that may be made of them under retributivists valuations that read as victimizers and attributable to the criminal law.

Keywords : Rights of the child armed conflict; children and war.
