ZAMBRANO NOLES, Silvia. Access to Justice and to Effective Judicial Protection with Respect to Citizen Security in Ecuador. Tla-melaua [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.39, pp.58-78. ISSN 2594-0716.

The article 393 of the Republic's Constitution establishes: "The State shall guarantee human security through policies and integrated actions to ensure the peaceful coexistence of the people, to promote a culture of peace and to prevent the forms of violence and discrimination, and the commission of offenses and crimes. The planning and implementation of these policies will be in charge of the specialized bodies in the different levels of government".

Considering that the citizen security is in construction, this paper reflects the outcome of investigations that are carried out in the Faculty of Law in the Universidad Metropolitana del Ecuador (Metropolitan University of Ecuador) with the aim to contribute to the awareness, not only of constitutional rights and guarantees, but obligations, mainly those that promote a good life with others.

Thus, an analysis is made of the contribution of justice's transformations in Ecuador to citizen security related to guarantees of access to justice and effective judicial protection.
