Resumen

The research problem arises from the declining actions of the Ecuadorian government and its judicial system, as well as the weak enforcement of existing laws and the guarantees established by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. The objective is to determine whether there was a lack of investigation and judicial diligence, as well as compliance with the reparations and non-repetition measures established by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. This analysis employs qualitative methods, including documentary review of expert evidence, witness statements, and medical reports presented during the judicial process. The main results of the analysis indicate documented violations of the victims' personal integrity, who were subjected to torture and degrading treatment. It is also concluded that the Court ordered restitution, reparations, and human rights training for state officials.
