| Summary: |
In the light of the importance of comparative law in order to analyze the
development of contemporary legal systems, this essay deals with the
reform of Chilean criminal justice system. Its peculiarity (which distinguishes
that reform from the others initiatives in criminal matters), are
because of two features, namely, to the late 1990s, the Chilean criminal
justice system was one of the systems with greater proximity to the
pure inquisitive model, and was also one of the latest systems in Latin
America to begin with the process of transformation towards an oral
accusatory system. It is remarkable in the essay the participation of civil
society in the reform process and in the discussion of the way in which
the change of the criminal system in Chile was approved by the oral accusatory,
as well as the six main elements of the reform. The problems
that led to the gradual implementation of the reform also deserve the
attention of the authors. Finally, the challenges ahead are explored |
