Negotiating the release of child soldiers in war : engaging non-state armed groups during periods of conflict

Reta, Runa. January 2008 (has links)
The persistent use of child soldiers in war continues to be a serious problem for many countries locked in conflicts around the world, yet surprisingly little attention has been given to those actors who are recruiting children in the greatest numbers: namely, non-state armed groups (NSAs). In recent years, several NSAs have entered into formal commitments with UNICEF to end their child recruitment practices; what is more interesting, they have done so during periods of active conflict. Why have these armed groups signed such agreements? Are there observable patterns among these NSAs that could better help us predict the likelihood of engaging with other groups in the future? This Masters thesis endeavours to look more closely at the nature of these specific actors employing children in war, and the dynamics surrounding negotiated agreements, in order to answer the question: why do non-state armed groups agree to end their child recruitment practices during periods of ongoing conflict?

Estándares internacionales de justicia para la transición en el conflicto armado colombiano

Olivera Astete, Jean Franco 16 May 2016 (has links)
El conflicto armado no internacional (CANI) que se vive en Colombia lleva más de cincuenta años de existencia. Si bien, como suele suceder en los conflictos armados, no se puede definir una fecha de inicio de las hostilidades, los antecedentes directos al CANI colombiano se pueden rastrear en el periodo conocido como La Violencia (1946-1958), en el cual los partidarios políticos de los liberales y conservadores se enfrentaron en situaciones de tensión que dejaron alrededor de 16 mil personas muertas y 321 mil desplazados.1 Este periodo concluye con el pacto entre ambos partidos tradicionales, mediante el cual se forma el Frente Nacional que es “una coalición entre las élites políticas y económicas dirigidas a proteger sus intereses mutuos, acordado por las facciones liberal conservadora tradicionales, institucionalizando la no competencia entre los actores pactantes”.2 El informe ¡Basta ya! Colombia: Memorias de la Guerra y Dignidad, publicado por el Grupo de Memoria Histórica en el 2013, dividió el conflicto colombiano en cuatro etapas, siendo el comienzo del primer periodo la toma del poder por parte del Frente Nacional en 1958. Dichas etapas son las siguientes: (i) la violencia bipartidista se transforma en violencia subversiva (1958-1982); (ii) la expansión guerrillera, políticas de paz y eclosión paramilitar (1982-1996); (iii) los años de la tragedia humanitaria: la expansión de guerrillas y paramilitares, el Estado a la deriva, y la lucha a sangre y fuego por el territorio (1996-2005); y, por último, (iv) las Autodefensas Unidas Colombianas negocian y se desmovilizan. El Estado empuja a las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia hacia su retaguardia (2005-2012). / Tesis
