La remoción de la máxima autoridad administrativa de Cuerpos Colegiados, designados para un período fijo: análisis de casos

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this descriptive theoretical study based on documentary research is to propose general lines of argument for the discussion and reform of the Organic Administrative Code. These proposals aim to incorporate abstract, general rules governing the grounds and administrative procedures for the legitimate removal of officials from collegiate bodies prior to the expiration of their constitutionally and legally mandated terms. Such measures would be implemented through the exercise of powers and competencies inherent to the self-organization and regulation associated with the principle of administrative, economic, and operational autonomy granted to certain State branches and institutions. While guaranteeing the right to due process and legal certainty, the approach prioritizes the necessary efficiency, effectiveness, quality, and accountability of the official in the exercise of their office, thereby ensuring the fulfillment of institutional aims and objectives. My central argument is that the Ecuadorian legal system suffers from gaps which, although previously addressed through legal integration methods, must necessarily be resolved through legislative debate.
