Estudio de las sentencias sobre la Acción Extraordinaria de Protección en el Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract:In Ecuador, several mechanisms have been created to protect the rights of people and companies, these mechanisms many times go beyond the ordinary methodology of conflict resolution, such is the case of the Action of Extraordinary Protection, which was imposed in order to safeguard the rights that could have been violated during an ordinary or extraordinary legal process. This guarantee was imposed in the Constitution of Ecuador s Republic, reformed in 2008, through this action seeks to protect the constitutional rights of people in general and if in case that their rights were violated, the State must compensate citizens through an integral repair of the damage caused. Like any jurisdictional action, it can be filed by any person, community or group of people, this resource can be presented by both ways individually and collectively. This mechanism has to be presented at the Constitutional Court, the organism in charge of the approval or denial of this action, demonstrating that there exists a violation of rights; otherwise this action does not apply.
