The current work aimed to review the literature on the processes of involvement, permanence and reintegration of children who participated in illegal armed groups (iag) in Colombia. Fifty-one (51) documents of specialized databases and catalogs of Colombian universities were reviewed in the period between 2005 and 2018. The results showed that most of the studies on the participation of children in armed groups are focused on the processes of involvement and reintegration. Different perspectives on the denomination of this population group are discussed, as well as the causes identified for the involvement and the dynamics of interaction and adjustment to the iagduring the stay. Besides, the experiences involved during the reintegration processes were analyzed and the characteristics of the care programs are mentioned. Finally, some recommendations for the reintegration process are presented.

Keywords : ex-combatants; children; illegal armed groups; armed conflict; reintegration.
