Dear Friends:
I received a few messages wondering why I'm missing the blog; sincerely occupations I have had a bit away but when he met a week ago for this story I can not share with you.
more than a year ago, after having driven Quito organizations concerned with the issue of violence against children and animal welfare a complaint with the Ombudsman, Dr. Fernando Gutierrez in a resolution providing for the prohibition of entry to children to the bullfights at the national level.
The motivation of this decision is primarily based on violence generated by the show, death, agony and suffering of an animal.
previous years had brought some actions regarding the subject matter, however, by certain interests had not been considered, so that from the validity of the new Constitution, under Article 1, Ecuador is a Rule of Law and Justice, which take precedence above all Respert to the Fundamental Rights which states our constitution, as well as those contained in international conventions and instruments of human rights.
decision some time this had become the "thorn in the side" of the organizers of the bullfights, who before the proximity of the parties had to resort to remove legal artifice to bring an injunction against that decision, the same as it corresponded to meet a Civil Judge of San Miguel de los Bancos.
of their motivation to grant the injunction requested by companies, parental authority is enjoyed by parents of children or deciding to have children as well as culture and tradition that this event has taurine, that particular would have curtailed the time of issuing the resolution defensorial mentioned.
Neither of these two arguments can be considered decisive moment "weigh" rights that take precedence over boys and girls from violence, and specifically establish the International Conventions on the Rights of the Child, as well as internal regulations, the Code of Childhood and Adolescence.
If the phenomenal bull is violent, it is undeniable question could never be a child of Ecuador part thereof, or on the pretext that the parent so desires, otherwise, the State should intervene as it does for regulate certain harmful activities, prohibit the consumption of alcoholic beverages to a minor, censor films, etc.
The state can not be indifferent to this reality, it must act to prevent violence comes to children and influence training.
Happily, a few days ago, against the injunction that I think it was analyzed using the interpretive method of "weighting", was presented a protective action in the city of Quito by the Ombudsman and the judge granted by substituting the rights of children in Ecuador.
East and many other issues should be discussed with legal maturity, in keeping with the times and circumstances that require us to society, then remember that the judges issue sentences that are the result of popular desire, of what to expect when Our judges are exposed to the conflict, there each case must be analyzed with the times which we live.
So much so that few days ago the Judicial Council announces the operation of the courts of the Rights of Nature, which means that we are moving on these issues, particularly that is clearly stated in our Constitution and which surely new ideas and projects will come out in favor of animals and their welfare, as well as the community who are concerned about environmental issues.
A hug for everyone and a great week.
