nternational experiences with disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) demonstrate that one should not overlook special groups within the population nor promote partial processes; especially former girls, boys and adolescent combatants. The present article deals with the following question: ¿How should we conceive the reintegration process of a former child combatant in Colombia, when she reaches the age of 18 years and has not yet overcome the condition of victim? To this end, were reviewed the current programs for the reintegration of minors, as established by the international disarmament, demobilization and reintegration standards (EIDDR) and were consulted 16 young people who were recruited as minors and who were part of the process of disengagement in the past negotiations between the Colombian government and the FARC - EP.
An analysis of the formal instruments and of the perspectives of the youths themselves afforded an understanding of the risks to which the young demobilized ex-combatants are exposed and conclude that Colombia does not have a reintegration process per se but rather a few programmes for child victims of recruitment. In order to produce positive results, the reintegration process should be one single programme, led by one Government entity, with roles, functions, structure, staff and resources clearly defined and adapted to the profíle of each participating child, adolescent or youth
