Análisis del cumplimiento de exhibición de derechos de víctimas y personas detenidas en dependencias policiales, fiscales y judiciales en El Oro, año 2021

Abstract

In Ecuador, the display in police, prosecutorial and judicial offices of the rights of persons involved in a criminal process, whether as victims, detainees or prosecuted, is provided for in the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code, in article 533 last paragraph. This provision intends that these people know the rights and guarantees that assist them. The objective of this work is to analyze whether the police agencies, Prosecutors, Courts and Public Defenders of the Provinceof El Oro comply with the obligation emanating from Article 533 last paragraph. For this, a bibliographic investigation was applied to determine what are the purposes of the inclusion of this obligation and the impact it may have on compliance with due process. In addition, an on-site investigation was applied in police offices, Public Prosecutions, Courts and Public Defenders of the Province of El Oro, to verify such compliance. It is concluded that in the Province of El Oro, most of the agencies do not comply with this obligation, but that this non-compliance does not entail a violation of the basic guarantees of due process or the right to be informed.
