    El derecho de recurrir ante las resoluciones o fallos de la función legislativa en el juicio político
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Unidad de Posgrado, Maestria en Derecho Constitucional, 2020-08) Silva Bustamante, Luis Alberto; Melo Delgado, Rosa Herlinda
    The main objective of this research work is to deepen the importance of the right to due process in guaranteeing recourse to the resolutions issued by the legislative function within the impeachment, given that in Ecuador, regarding the topic of investigation, its absence has been historical. The Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, in its Article 76, numeral 7, literal m), establishes the right that people have to appeal a resolution or a decision when deciding on their rights, for which reason, when existing express regulations, the violation of this right is clearly evident, which is linked to the right to defense and therefore forms part of due process. In this sense, since there is no possibility of appealing the resolution adopted by the National Assembly in a political trial, due process is violated and therefore the politically prosecuted are affected in their rights. It is important to emphasize that the right of appeal is a constitutional right of scope for all people without exception. Therefore, by restricting this right in terms of impeachment, the principle of equality established in Article 11, numeral 2, ibid, is transgressed directly, in which it is prescribed that all persons shall be subject likewise with respect to rights and obligations, as well as the right to formal, material equality and non-discrimination enshrined in Article 66, numeral 4 of the constitutional text. Thus, when carrying out this reform, these constitutional precepts would harmonize the Constitution for its proper application. Therefore, by virtue of the aforementioned, there is a need for a higher body to review whether the procedure carried out in a political trial has been adhered to and respecting due process, so that, in this way, to be the aforementioned resolution must be ratified or distorted in this instance.
