has left behind the era of barbarism, the Inquisition and obscurantism. It took centuries and today, in modern societies, operates a legal order to avoid chaos, abuse and injustice. Apparently, not all is lost in the shuffle of history, social diversions have occurred in the planet, according to the conditions and socioeconomic characteristics of each geographic sector. In our country applies a new constitution, considered one of the most advanced in the world for its humanistic content.

Our Nation and the rest of the world, crime has grown more visible in the layers decreased, and almost hidden in the higher social level. Brutality against hardened criminal penalties are technified the national police, prison rehabilitation systems tested and even used to explore research and studies of the grounds to try to curb this social evil, but within the framework of laws . It has become customary in our country to apply the law of retaliation or justice into their own hands, not only in the Indian race, but in big cities. I remember some time ago, a large group of inhabitants of the citadel Martha Roldan, with incredible cruelty, massacre of a young, presumably arranchador, a witness was terrified by this act of savagery, exclaimed: "At the end of the day is a human being, who alone could judge it was God."

Advocates are reminded of this tradition that part of Article 171 of the Constitution, section Indigenous Justice, said: "The authorities shall apply rules and procedures for resolving their internal conflicts and they are not contrary to the Constitution and the rights recognized in international instruments. We emphasize the Article 424, of the same Code, which states: "The Constitution is the supreme and prevails over any other legal system."

The stubborn still insist that no human rights violation, if a person's tied naked to a pole is struck with nettles, is the ice water bath and forced her to walk with heavy loads to shoulder. It is essential to silence the supporters of indigenous justice, the issue of a law governing constitutional principles in relation to its implementation. The silence of journalists and opinion mainly the Catholic Church becomes complicit in this absurd way of trying to do justice in Ecuador.

If deplores and condemns the execution with his own hand, should the recovery of confidence in the administration of justice in this Republic, by a change in attitude of judges and end up with one of the pretexts of the sponsors of infamous law.

A fools defenders of the law of the jungle transcribe them thinking of Baltasar Gracian: "He is no fool who does the stupidity, but that made no disguise know it."
