TY - JOUR T1 - Poder sin control: La imposibilidad de adelantar procesos para exigir responsabilidades a los jueces en Colombia A1 - Garcés Villamil, Miguel Ángel PB - Universidad Autónoma del Caribe YR - 2012 UL - http://biblioteca.ararteko.eus/Record/dialnet-ar-18-ART0000587669 AB - 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.
