La inconstitucionalidad de sanciones administrativas contra dignatarios y sus repercusiones en el Ecuador : caso Verónica Abad.

Abstract

This research analyzes the responsibility of the Ecuadorian State in the reparation of fundamental rights violations, focusing on administrative sanctions imposed on public dignitaries, with specific reference to the case of Verónica Abad. Based on the principles established in the 2008 Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador and international human rights standards, the study examines the legal foundations of state responsibility, the modalities of comprehensive reparation, and the challenges inherent in its implementation. The research highlights how administrative sanctions can lead to violations of rights such as due process, the right to defense, the presumption of innocence, and the right to hold public office when constitutional guarantees are not respected. It also explores the importance of adopting comprehensive reparation measures, including restitution, financial compensation, rehabilitation, and guarantees of non-repetition, as essential mechanisms to strengthen respect for fundamental rights and promote public trust in the legal system. Furthermore, the study identifies the main challenges faced by the Ecuadorian State, such as acknowledging its responsibility, the complexity of implementing reparation measures, and the need for normative reforms to ensure fairer and more transparent public actions. This work aims not only to deepen the understanding of the legal implications of state responsibility but also to contribute concrete proposals for improving public policies and consolidating a robust rule of law in Ecuador.
