Abstract

Abstract: In Ecuador, the Action for Protection (Acción de Protección) is a key constitutional mechanism for guaranteeing and restoring the rights of individuals when they are violated by authorities, public officials, or legal entities. This remedy seeks the immediate protection of fundamental rights, such as life, liberty, security, and equality, all recognized in both the Constitution and international treaties. Anyone can file an Action for Protection without the need for an attorney, before competent judges, who must resolve them expeditiously and with priority. This mechanism reflects the Ecuadorian State's commitment to defending the fundamental rights of its citizens and is essential to guaranteeing the effectiveness of the rights enshrined in the Constitution and the international human rights framework. The Action for Protection becomes a vital tool for promoting and defending human dignity and justice in Ecuador. It not only ensures accountability from public and private actors but also reinforces democratic values by empowering individuals and communities to actively demand respect for their rights.
