ABSTRACT: As a consequence of the accumulation of criminal
cases in the Ecuadorian criminal system, legislators have opted
to implement an abbreviated procedure. It consists of an
agreement between the prosecutor and the prosecuted person.
Thus, the alleged offender is held responsible for committing
the criminal offence, provided that the Integral Organic
Criminal Code established the procedural requirements.
However, this procedure may violate the accused’s rights and
guarantees, precisely the principle of non-self-incrimination.
Therefore, this article aims to analyze whether there is a correct
application of the procedural principle of prohibition of self-
incrimination within the abbreviated procedure in Ecuadorian
criminal legislation.

RESUMEN: Debido a la acumulación de causas penales en el
sistema penal ecuatoriano, los legisladores han optado por
implementar un procedimiento abreviado el cual consiste en
un acuerdo entre el fiscal y la persona procesada, para que el
presunto infractor se declare responsable del cometimiento
de la infracción penal, siempre y cuando se cumpla con los
requisitos de procedibilidad establecidos en el Código Orgánico
Integral Penal. Sin embargo, este procedimiento puede vulnerar
derechos y garantías del procesado, específicamente el
principio de no autoincriminación. Por ello, el presente artículo
reflexiona entorno a la correcta aplicación del principio procesal
de prohibición de autoincriminación dentro del procedimiento
abreviado en la legislación penal ecuatoriana.
PALABRAS CLAVES: procedimiento legal, principios jurídicos,
derecho penal, administración de justicia, debido proceso.

principle of prohibition of self-incrimination in the abbreviated
criminal procedure provided in the Comprehensive Organic
Criminal Code of the Ecuadorian system. Said analysis is
established as a criminal principle due process of constitutional
rank and recognized by international instruments. Therefore,
