Andrés Arauz presents an Amicus Curie for the unconstitutionality of the Humanitarian Law in Ecuador

He explained that the norm contradicts the obligation of the States that no internal norm can undermine labor rights.

The candidate for the Presidency for the alliance “Union for Hope” (UNES), Andrés Arauz, presented an Amicus Curie for the unconstitutionality of the Humanitarian Support Law in the Constitutional Court.

The Constitutional Court will hear the arguments of citizens and social organizations that assure that the Humanitarian Law is unconstitutional this Thursday. In total, there are 19 cases against the regulations approved by the Assembly in May of this year.

Arauz presented the Amicus Curie, an appeal in support of cases against the Law, in which he argues that the non-regressiveness of labor rights implies that, in times of crisis, the cost should not be borne by workers.

“The Humanitarian Law runs counter to both the San Salvador Pact and the International DESC Pact (arts. 6 and 7), which recognizes the right to work and to just and satisfactory conditions for workers,” explained the candidate.

In addition, he pointed out that it contradicts the obligation of the States that no internal norm can undermine labor rights. “For this reason, I requested to be received at a Public Hearing to present these arguments. We will always promote Labor Justice, ”added Arauz.
