La desmovilización como parámetros para la implementación de la teoría de la igualdad en el proceso de reintegración

Abstract

With the demobilization of the armed group FARC - EP, the signing of the peace treaty, we must prepare ourselves for the future and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. The last massive demobilization was back in 2005 in the signing of the peace treaty with the Paramilitaries (from here on AUC) where the numbers weren’t encouraging; from almost fifty thousand demobilized AUC, only nine thousand finished the process, and seven thousand to this date are still stuck in the process; the following numbers don’t add up too even half of the population in question.

This phenomenon affects negatively the very reason of the peace treaties: since there is no successful amount of reintegration processes, there can be no guaranties to access jobs for the demobilized. That due to the fact of their past as ex combatants, they are forced to face serious obstacles in the labor world. The private sector tends to be very discriminative at the moment of hiring reintegrated people because of the direct interaction with the client or the representation of the company. This results in a limited possibility of landing a job, what gives as a final result in the regression to subversion.
