Abstract

Abstract: Ruling 1229-14-EP/21 of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador addresses a protection action filed by Jehovah's Witnesses against the neighborhood authorities of Ilumán, Imbabura, and the Parish GAD (Argentine Government of the Autonomous Community of the Dominican Republic), who prevented the construction of a church. The Constitutional Court determined that the judicial authorities violated the legal grounds by examining unasserted facts and dismissing other charges without justification. In its analysis, the Court explored religious freedom in the context of a secular and plurinational State, highlighting the individual and community dimensions of this right, as well as the right to formal and material equality and non-discrimination. It concluded that the suspension of construction violated the congregation's rights to religious freedom and equality. As remedial measures, training on standards of intercultural coexistence and religious diversity was provided to the authorities involved, fostering intercultural dialogue that allows for the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of different religious groups.
