El rol de la Corte Constitucional en el control de los estados de excepción por grave conmoción interna y conflicto armado interno en el Ecuador: análisis de los Decretos Ejecutivos 110 y 111 de 2024

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the role of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador regarding the state of emergency declarations issued through Executive Decrees No. 110 and No. 111 of 2024. These decrees were enacted by the President of the Republic in response to a context of severe internal unrest and internal armed conflict. The research examines whether the Court s actions aligned with the constitutional principles of legality, necessity, proportionality, and suitability, and whether it effectively protected human rights during the exercise of exceptional powers. The approach is legal, with a qualitative methodology based on doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis through the review of legal frameworks and rulings issued by the Constitutional Court. The findings raise concerns about the consistency of the Court s decisions and highlight the need to strengthen constitutional oversight mechanisms in times of crisis. This study seeks to contribute to the academic debate on balancing security and fundamental rights within the framework of a constitutional state governed by the rule of law.
