Description

This decree created a new Unit for the Demobilization of Combatants (UEPN-DDR), including children associated with armed forces and armed groups. This unit replaced the National Commission for Demobilization and Reintegration (CONADER), which was the first Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) unit established in the country after the end of the war in 2003. The UEPN-DDR subsequently, in 2008, adopted a policy on DDR programs for children associated with armed forces and armed groups.
