Fundamental right to an independent and impartial court in the chilean legal system

Abstract

This work analyses the recognition and determination of the fundamental right to an independent and impartial court in the Chilean Law. In order to determine the content of this law, this work takes into account the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the Chilean, Spanish and Italian constitutional courts, as well as the constitutional and procedural doctrines of the latter countries. Bearing in mind that jurisprudence and doctrine, the author analyses the situation of fundamental right to an independent and impartial court in the Chilean justice, in its civil, criminal, administrative, military and constitutional aspects.
