Las medidas de protección al tenor del Código Orgánico General de Procesos.

Abstract

The protection measures contemplated in the Code of Childhood and Adolescence are mechanisms of an urgent nature, to defend children and adolescents from any kind of abuse: physical, psychological or sexual, as the case may be. Until before the publication of the Cogep, on May 23, 2015, these actions, due to their seriousness, were substantiated in the Courts as special and summary procedures, following the rules contemplated in the Code of the Childhood and Adolescence and subsidiarily the Code of Civil Procedure. However, with the issuance of the new procedural body that governs all issues of a civil nature, which are not criminal, electoral or constitutional jurisdiction, a legal vacuum was created, since it was not included in any of the current procedures, the judicial way by which the cases in which such protection measures should be dictated should be attended to, with the foregoing a legal insecurity is created that justly violates the rights of the children victims of said mistreatment.
