El Control de Constitucionalidad de los Tratados Internacionales en materia Penal en el Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: The present research work is based on the need to understand the institution of prior constitutional control of international treaties and the types of existing control, focusing on criminal matters, what is sought is to understand whether this body has functioned properly as an ideal mechanism to ensure constitutional supremacy and identify whether its enactment and subsequent implementation have had a correct analysis. The importance of conducting this research lies in the fact that Ecuador has over the years signed several international treaties and conventions which are not mentioned, but have not had a correct revision or application. That is why we seek to understand the mechanism that our country applies as soon as it becomes a signatory and signatory of an international treaty and to confirm if the process that takes place until its promulgation is the appropriate one, through the analysis of these treaties, we will come to denote the importance, the need for its subscription, its application and whether or not it represents a vacuum or antinomy before the other laws of the country.
