Judicial Independence in Ecuador's Judicial Reform process
In this executive summary of the report titled, Judicial Independence in Ecuador’s Judicial Reform Process, we examine what has happened to judicial independence as part of the “citizen’s revolution” led by President Rafael Correa.
Ecuador is a country in which the rule of law has not been solidly developed. Because it has been politically unstable throughout its history, those in power have made the justice system part of the political arena. Accordingly, criticism of the justice system and proposals for its reform have multiplied in recent decades.
