Implementación de nuevas tecnologías en el derecho procesal ecuatoriano.

Abstract

The implementation of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Ecuadorian procedural law has been a key issue in recent years. The use of these tools has allowed for the improvement and enhancement of judicial processes and efficiency in case management, providing greater transparency and access to information. It is evident that this process of modernizing and automating the Ecuadorian justice system has been gradual, which has involved the digitization of documents and the creation of specific computer systems for the management of judicial files. In addition, online platforms have been created for the submission of documents and the carrying out of judicial procedures, which has allowed for greater efficiency in the system. However, despite the significant advances in ICTs in the Ecuadorian justice system, significant challenges still need to be addressed and resolved in the medium and short term. In this regard, the present research aimed to analyze the current situation of the implementation of new technologies in Ecuadorian procedural law in order to identify and correct errors in the digital platform for judicial processes. Through qualitative research and the application of analysis-synthesis, descriptive, and cross-sectional explanatory methods, the proposed objective was achieved. Among the main results, shortcomings in the use of ICTs in the Ecuadorian justice system were evident, and improvement proposals were put forward.
