El Principio de Congruencia y su aplicación en el Sistema Acusatorio Oral Ecuatoriano

Abstract

The principle of procedural consistency within the Ecuadorian criminal oral adversarial system requires the existence of an indictment, a definition of roles between the accuser (Fiscal) and who judges (Judge), and a relationship between the initial accusation and judgment issued by the judge. Also compliance with this principle encompasses a series of rights and other constitutional principles that must be observed in order to ensure due process, the right to defense, the rule of law, etc. The lack of application of this principle violates the fundamental rights of persons prosecuted and put into question the existence of a constitutional state of law and justice; premium standard of our Constitution
