The results revealed that overcrowding, exceeding the capacity of the center, constitutes the main problem, violating international treaties and constitutional rights; in addition, the lack of knowledge of these rights by inmates was confirmed, aggravating the violation of fundamental guarantees established in the Constitution.

Evaluation of the principle of equality in the provisional resolution of alimony without prior citation.

Thu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 -0600

The regulations in Childhood and Adolescence oblige the judge to fix the provisional alimony when accepting the claim, even without citing the defendant, according to Judgment No. 2158-17-EP/21 C.C. This procedure generates doubts about its impact on the principle of equality, the right to defense and the economic rights of the defendant. The research conducted in Santo Domingo in 2022, employed a qualitative approach and diverse methods, concluding that judges recognize the violation of the principle of equality, but act in accordance with the legality in force. The Constitutional Court supports the measure under the best interest of the minor, although it points out a procedural imbalance that could be mitigated through affirmative actions to balance the guarantees without affecting the rights of the minor.

Analysis of the effectiveness of penalties for environmental infractions in the Organic Integral Penal Code.

Thu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 -0600

The rights of nature have made significant progress in the social, political and legislative spheres, implying a paradigm shift in environmental laws, which have moved from an approach oriented towards the exploitation of resources to an orientation that prioritizes the protection and restoration of ecosystems. In this framework, the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP) of 2014 incorporates specific sanctions for activities that threaten the environment; however, questions persist about the real effectiveness of these sanctions, given the persistence of problems in their practical application and their limited deterrent capacity. This qualitative research examines how challenges in the implementation and effectiveness of penalties affect the impact of environmental regulations in Ecuador.

Nullity: Effects derived from the declaration of evidentiary illegality, especially in the trial stage of the accusatory criminal process in accordance with the National Code of Criminal Procedure.

Bertha Araceli Díaz Vilchis — Thu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 -0600

Evidentiary illegality is analyzed through a formal methodology and simple documentary technique. It is a consequence of obtaining or incorporating data, evidence or proof in a procedure or in the process itself, in violation of human rights, specifying that the resulting nullity is of an absolute nature, the immediate effect of which is its evidentiary ineffectiveness; if it is declared at the intermediate stage, it implies evidentiary exclusion and at any other stage, the impossibility of assessing the data or evidence within the evidentiary context. The study is justified by the need to provide information that allows judges and legal professionals to assess the effects of the declaration of evidentiary illegality.

Professional liability in negligent homicide due to malpractice: analysis of the principle of trust and objective imputation.

Thu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 -0600

The analysis of the application of the principle of trust in cases of wrongful death due to medical malpractice in Ecuador shows serious inconsistencies and lack of uniformity in its interpretation and use. While medical professionals consider this principle as a guarantee for the exercise of their work, patients often perceive it as an obstacle to obtain justice and reparation. This scenario underscores the need to critically address how this principle is interpreted and applied, identifying normative gaps and proposing clear criteria for its uniform and equitable implementation. The research focuses on a comprehensive analysis, combining documentary review and qualitative analysis of normative, doctrinal and jurisprudential sources, with special emphasis on the Organic Integral Penal Code, using real cases to contextualize the findings.
