Abstract

The illegal recruitment of children and adolescents (CA) is a war crime that occurs in different armed conflicts throughout the world, including Colombia. Thus, there is a broad national and international regulatory framework, which proscribes this phenomenon in order to support the rights of CA. In Colombia, especially in a post-conflict scenario, it is essential that the investigation, prosecution and criminalization of this crime be in accordance with the national and international regulations that exist in the area. Thus, this paper will show how, up to now, the Integral System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-Repetition (SIVJRNR) has sought to follow these regulations, with the implementation of the transitional justice model created for that purpose.
