The present work shows an analysis of the motives, incorporation and scope of the regulation of the alternative mechanisms of conflict solution (hereinafter MASC) and Restorative Justice, in the criminal sphere. For this, a qualitative, doctrinal study of international and comparative law is carried out between the countries of Ecuador and Mexico. It is concluded that, Mexico regulated the access to justice through the MASC: arbitration, mediation and conciliation as a human right. Restorative justice is implemented through the restorative board and alternative methods. Ecuador, on the other hand, incorporated conciliation in minor offenses, mediation in cases of adolescent offenders; it does not contemplate restorative justice and the restorative approach has not been consolidated. The challenge to resignify criminal justice continues for both countries.
