El principio de confianza legítima y el derecho fundamental a la buena administración pública en el Ecuador.

Abstract

The present work was developed under the investigative and descriptive method in relation to the principle of legitimate expectations and the right of good public administration in Ecuador; starting from the generic review of good public administration as a concept, and its transit to be conceived as a fundamental right; a trend that stars from Europe and that took root in Latin America, where our country is located. Within the framework of this study, the various elements that make up the right to good public administration in Ecuador were examined, paying special attention to the principle of legitimate expectations, as a conductor to its configuration; in terms of the contribution that means the use of criteria of certainty and predictability in the various administrative actions of the public sector, resulting in strengthening the citizen's perception of compliance with the right to good public administration. In the interim of the investigation, it was observed that, despite the relevance of the right to good public administration -with the category of fundamental right-, there is no formal delimitation of its scope in the country; and from this it is derived that in Ecuador its enforceability by the citizens is not popular; since jurisdictional guarantees are not activated for the direct protection of this fundamental right to good public administration and therefore, to protect its effective enforcement.
