¿Cómo se aplica el derecho a acceder a la información pública, según la jurisprudencia de la Corte Constitucional?

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes how the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, in its jurisprudence, has developed standards of accessibility and integrity within the framework of access to information as a guarantee. The Court has addressed these standards as a comprehensive manifestation of the rights established in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador. Access to public information is a right that empowers citizens to request any type of information generated by either state or private entities. The usefulness and relevance of this study lies in the fact that, despite jurisprudential pronouncements and studies of this right, it is not adequately developed. In order to understand the scope of this guarantee, certain authors will be consulted to broaden the perspective and clarify the purpose of this jurisdictional guarantee. The jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador has configured this guarantee in order to promote access to public information, which requires compliance with certain parameters and standards, under a rights-based approach, in order to avoid, at all costs, the violation of rights.
