Abstract

GUEVARA, Carolina. The House of Representatives Committee of Prosecution and Inquiry: a Breakup into the Responsibility System of Judges in Colombia. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.2, pp.45-78. ISSN 0124-0579.  https://doi.org/10.12804/esj17.02.2015.03.

In these days, we can constant a growing number of offence denunciations against the judges composing the Supreme Court and the ones composing the Supreme Judicial Council. People also feel judges dispose of number of arrangements to guarantee their independence. As a result, there is the feeling judges don't respond for their actions and omissions. This paper intends to show that even if normative rules exist to control judges the control mechanisms don't work. The problem of the control system resides in the poor management of the commission of investigation and prosecution of the House of Representatives, entity that is meant ruling the mentioned control system.

Keywords : Independence; responsibility; accountability; Supreme Court; Supreme Judicial Council.
