The Chevron case and the reforms to the General Process Code.

Abstract

The objective of this article is to demonstrate the legal and political repercussions of the reforms to the COGEP (General Code of Processes) in the pertinent part of the recognition of international arbitration awards in Ecuador; for this, we have taken as reference the Chevron case, the same one that involves the Ecuadorian state and the Amazonian indigenous communities that have been in a legal battle against the North American oil company for decades.
