Ecuador: Constitutional State of Rights and Justice

Constitution of 2008

• National planning establishes a new relationship between public policy, ensuring rights and the development objectives.

• Public policy is incorporated as a guarantor of rights (Art. 85).

• Human rights, go on to become the raison d'être of the state.

• The National Plan for Good Living becomes an instrument for the exercise and guarantee of rights.

• Public services are no longer simple social benefits, they become means for guaranteeing rights.

• It is the duty of the state to “plan national development, eradicate poverty, promote sustainable development and the equitable distribution of resources and wealth, to access Good Living” (Art. 3.5).
