Uso de las nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación : implementación del expediente electrónico.

Abstract

Currently, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has turned us into a dynamic society, in which the government plays an essential role as a provider of public services. Ecuador, in the face of this constant development, has been involved since 2007 in the implementation of an electronic government, whose main objective is the optimization of the relationship between the State and the citizens through the modernization of the functions of the State, among these, the judicial function. Thus, with the initiative of an electronic government, appears the desire to approach electronic justice, with a vision of a transparent, impartial, independent and accessible justice system. However, despite multiple legislative reforms aimed at the recognition of new technologies in judicial processes, the lack of an electronic case filing remains a problem that violates the due process and drastically obstructs the modernization of the judicial system.
