La conciliación como mecanismo para solución pacífica de los conflictos internacionales en el Ecuador.

Abstract

Conciliation is a mechanism for the peaceful resolution of international conflicts. The international community in several international treaties provides for the obligation of states to submit to these mechanisms, however, it empowers them to choose which mechanism to use. Ecuador has chosen to submit international disputes to conciliation, but especially conflicts related to human rights. Therefore, it is important to analyze the legal framework, background and development of conciliation to clarify that it cannot be an absolute and unlimited mechanism and that its incorrect application can affect the constitutional order. In this sense, the State must responsibly analyse which mechanism to apply, with respect to which type of conflicts.
