Analysis of the principle of minimum criminal intervention and the sanctions imposed by the State of Ecuador.

Abstract

The Constitution made by the Assembly in Montecristi came into force in Ecuador as of 2008. From here, the legislation began to be reformed in order to accommodate the new Ecuadorian constitution, beginning to respect the rights of the entire social conglomerate. In 2014, criminal legislation was reformed; that is, the Penal Code, the Law on Gender Violence, among others, establishing principles that the procedural parties respect; and in this investigation the Principle of Minimum Criminal Intervention is addressed, which came into conflict with the power that the judges had before 2014. The objective of this investigation is to be able to analyze the changes that the criminal law had since 2014.
