Indigenous justice in Ecuador and the reform of its rules by the authorities.

Abstract

The main issue seeks to determine whether or not the indigenous justice authorities should have the power to consult the Constitutional Court on the constitutionality or conventionality of a rule of their own law that they intend to apply in a specific case and on which the indigenous authority warns a possible unconstitutionality or conventionality. The methodology used is the application of interviews to different personalities. It was concluded that the report of laws by the indigenous authorities could give them the opportunity that the Constitution grants the ordinary justice to consult the processing of a specific case.
