Abstract

Motivation is a fundamental right of all citizens that, when activating effective judicial protection, must be guaranteed; In the criminal sphere, due to the current pronouncements of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador regarding motivation, this has taken an opportune turn by creating a reinforced padlock to protect the defendants. Therefore, the objective of this work will be to define what the additional standards of motivation in criminal matters that the Constitutional Court has created consist of. A task that, without a doubt, will contribute to an appropriate administration of justice and will help to identify the errors that judges make when pronouncing a sentence of conviction. For this purpose, the method to be used will be analytical since an analysis of the rulings of the Constitutional Court will be carried out. At the end of our work we will conclude that the new motivation standards provide reinforced guarantees to the defendants.
