ECUADOR: Judicial vacuum threatens rule of law
President Rafael Correa warned this week that Ecuador did not
currently live under the rule of law because of the “chaos" in the judicial
system. His comments came after supreme court judges refused to participate in
the selection process for the new national court of justice (CNJ), which is
replacing the supreme court (CSJ). This led to the incongruous sight of a
President calling on the people to stage a hunger strike to resolve the judicial
deadlock.
