| Summary: | The high number of children recruited by illegal armed groups in Colombia makes
it necessary to devise effective public policies that protect prevalently for the protection
of human rights of children and adolescents, as mandated by the Constitution
because what can be concluded from the documentary research conducted in this
investigation, which was taken as study period the years 2005 to 2013, being the
period of the current Code of Criminal Procedure that exists about the persecution
crime of illegal recruitment; It is that state actions concerning the issue have not
been effective enough to separate minors from illegal armed groups operating in
Colombia. Nor they have been reflected in a suitable treatment to juvenile offenders,
resulting in the increasing use of children in criminal activities, a trend that has
been diminished in recent years due to the initiation of the current peace process
that is taking place between the national government and the main rebel group
operating in the country.Keywords: human rights, minors, illegal recruitment, child
rights, public policy. |
