Los efectos jurídicos del juicio político en el Ecuador

Abstract

Impeachment is a new process in view of the fact that, in ancient times, the way to punish serious crimes was the death penalty and the implementation of this procedure, was born in England with the purpose of sanctioning one of the councilors of the kingdom, without However, over the years this process has been studied, has had variations and has been carried out in different countries around the world. In each country, attempts have been made to integrate political prosecution within its system in accordance with the provisions of its laws without violating the basic guarantees of due process. In Ecuador, the exercise of this process is carried out by the Legislative Function and its main purpose is the to investigate the conduct of a high-ranking public official or servant and, as a result, to know for certain if he has carried out acts contrary to what is established in the legal system and if they have directly affected the Ecuadorian people and their resources to proceed with censorship and removal.
