Abstract
Este estudio aborda el análisis del principio de celeridad en la tramitación de la acción de protección en el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la ciudad de Ibarra, provincia de Imbabura, Ecuador. A través de un análisis de documentos legales, literatura académica y datos del Sistema Automático de Trámites Judiciales, se explora cómo la crisis sanitaria ha ido desarrollando la aplicación del principio de celeridad en el sistema judicial. El estudio se centra en evaluar la práctica judicial durante la pandemia, identificando desafíos y proponiendo mejoras. Se emplean métodos cualitativos, incluyendo análisis documental y entrevistas con jueces, abogados y expertos, complementados con el examen de casos judiciales relevantes durante el periodo de la pandemia. Los hallazgos indican una controversia entre la teoría y la práctica en la aplicación del principio de celeridad. A pesar de las directrices claras en la legislación ecuatoriana, la realidad muestra variaciones en su implementación, agravadas por la pandemia. Las entrevistas y el análisis de casos específicos revelan esfuerzos por mantener la celeridad procesal mediante audiencias virtuales y una eficiente digitalización, pero persisten desafíos relacionados con la sobrecarga de casos y la adaptación tecnológica. Como respuesta, se sugieren estrategias para mejorar la eficiencia del sistema judicial, incluyendo la modernización tecnológica, capacitación en herramientas digitales, revisión de plazos procesales, fortalecimiento del sistema de notificaciones electrónicas y evaluación continua. Finalmente, estas recomendaciones buscan mejorar la alineación entre la práctica judicial y las normativas legales, fortaleciendo la confianza en el sistema de justicia y asegurando una protección efectiva de los derechos en situaciones de crisis.
This study addresses the analysis of the principle of celerity in the processing of the protection action in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in the city of Ibarra, province of Imbabura, Ecuador. Through an analysis of legal documents, academic literature and data from the Sistema Automated System for Judicial Proceedings, we explore how the health crisis has been developing the application of the principle of speed in the judicial system. The study focuses on evaluating judicial practice during the pandemic, identifying challenges and proposing improvements. Qualitative methods are employed, including documentary analysis and interviews with judges, lawyers and experts, complemented by examination of relevant court cases during the pandemic period. The findings indicate a controversy between theory and practice in the application of the principle of celerity. Despite clear guidelines in Ecuadorian legislation, the reality shows variations in its implementation, exacerbated by the pandemic. Interviews and analysis of specific cases reveal efforts to maintain procedural celerity through virtual hearings and efficient digitization, but challenges related to case overload and technological adaptation persist. In response, strategies are suggested to improve the efficiency of the judicial system, including technological modernization, training in digital tools, revision of procedural deadlines, strengthening of the electronic notification system and continuous evaluation. Finally, these recommendations seek to improve the alignment between judicial practice and legal regulations, strengthening confidence in the justice system and ensuring effective protection of rights in crisis situations.
