La desnaturalización del Habeas Corpus: un análisis desde la jurisprudencia de la Corte Constitucional

Abstract

Abstract: This paper studies the distortion of the Habeas Corpus action, based on a jurisprudential analysis of rulings issued by the Constitutional Court between 2020 and 2025. This work begins with the premise that Habeas Corpus is a guarantee intended to protect liberty and personal integrity against illegal, arbitrary, and illegitimate detentions, but that due to its misuse and abuse, it has been used for purposes other than its intended nature, leading to crises in the constitutional justice system. These deviations generate serious legal consequences, affecting constitutional rights, resulting in a loss of legitimacy and distrust in the Ecuadorian justice system. Therefore, this study seeks to contribute to the proper use of habeas corpus to strengthen jurisdictional guarantees and constitutional justice in Ecuador.
