Legal review of the administrative disciplinary procedure in the organic law of the public service.

Abstract

The disciplinary procedure protects the rights of the public administration and state servants, ensuring fairness and legality in sanctions, by objectively determining faults or non-compliance. This process guarantees the presumption of innocence and due process, regardless of whether it is documented physically or electronically. The research, of a qualitative-quantitative approach with a qualitative predominance, analyzes the historical, theoretical and normative bases of the Ecuadorian legal order. It highlights the constitutional principles that guarantee impartiality and warns about the risks of media trials that violate fundamental rights. Finally, it presents proposals to strengthen administrative justice within the constitutional framework of Ecuador.
