  Guerrilla
Guerrilla is a term invented in Spain to describe the tactics used to resist the French regime instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte (one should however remember, that the tactics themselves were known and used even centuries earlier).
Guerrilla tactics are based on ambush and sabotage, and their ultimate objective is usually to destabilize an authority through long, low-intensity confrontation.
Guerrillas are in particular danger of not being recognized as combatants because they are outnumbered and may take off their uniforms to mingle with the local population.

The legal criteria for inclusion on the list are threefold: the organization must be foreign; it must engage in terrorist activity as defined in Section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), and its activities must threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security of the United States.
As with the U.S. list, inclusion on the EU list has a negative financial impact on the groups chosen, whose funds and other assets are supposed to be frozen.

 Colombia: The Justice and Peace law will benefit human rights abusers
“For the sake of transparency, and to ensure truth and justice for the victims of human rights abuses and their families, the list of guerrillas who are benefiting from the law should be made public.
The application of the Justice and Peace legislation to these 38 guerrillas will also fail to guarantee full and impartial investigations into the guerrilla units to which they belonged, the responsibility of these units in human rights abuses, and the possible identification of others responsible for the human rights abuses under investigation.
The Justice and Peace Law was approved by the Colombian Congress on 21 June and ratified by the government in July ostensibly to facilitate the ongoing “demobilization” of army-backed paramilitaries, but is in theory also designed to be applied to members of the guerrilla who wish to demobilize.
