La vulneración del derecho a la participación ciudadana en el mecanismo de la silla vacía.

Abstract

The violation of the right to citizen participation in the Empty Chair mechanism is a problem that has been occurring, due to the fact that the Decentralized Autonomous Governments do not make use of this mechanism, limit citizen participation and restrict representation. democratic. To enforce this mechanism, measures must be implemented to ensure transparency and decision-making processes. The dissemination of information from this mechanism would ensure that citizens are duly informed, to be participants and that their rights are respected. Therefore, citizens should be encouraged to actively participate in citizen participation processes, including the use of the Empty Chair mechanism. This helps create opportunities for citizens to get involved in decision-making at the local and national level. Finally, the protection and promotion of citizen participation is crucial for strengthening democracy in Ecuador. With proper implementation, a more just, equitable and sustainable society can be built.
