Demobilization 6
Demobilization 6 : The process by which armed forces (government and/or opposition or factional forces) either downsize or completely disband, as part of a broader transformation from war to peace. Typically, demobilization involves the assembly, quartering, disarmament, administration and discharge of former combatants, who may receive some form of compensation and other assistance to encourage their transition to civilian life. Reintegration: Assistance measures provided to former combatants that would increase the potential for their and their families', economic and social reintegration into civil society. Reintegration programmes could include cash assistance or compensation in kind, as well as vocational training and income-generating activities. - Resettlement: The settlement of ex-combatants in locations within their country of origin or to a third country. Repatriation: The return of ex-combatants to their country of origin. Rehabilitation: The treatment through psychosocial counselling and other programs of ex-combatants, most typically ex-child soldiers, who have been traumatized by war to assist them in resuming a more normal life.
