| Summary: |
The existence of checks and balances in a state of law ensures freedom and promotes the control between the public authorities.
In Colombia from 1991 the judicial branch of power occupies a leading position. The new role of the judges in the judicial
system has changed. Therefore, they are able to win an important space influencing the decisions of the State. Although
there are legal mechanisms designed to investigate the activity of members of the high courts of justice when they commit
acts contrary to the law, in reality it has not been possible to implement these rules. As a consequence of the foregoing, there
is in fact a kind of inviolability of judges, which prevents them from being investigated or prosecuted for their conduct. This
research aims to propose a reform to enable the control of the judge´s conducts, which is necessary to prevent the existence
of powers without control and realize the principle of equality of citizens above the power of state. |
