According to the US Department of State's report on Human Rights Practices for 2015 in Ecuador: "The main human rights abuses were lack of independence in the judicial sector; [and] restrictions on freedom of speech, press, assembly, and association" (in addition to corruption). The report specifies that judges "reached decisions based on media influence or political and economic pressures in cases where the government expressed interest." It adds that, according to human rights lawyers, "the government also ordered judges to deny all 'protection action' legal motions that argued that the government had violated an individual's constitutional rights to free movement, due process, and equal treatment before the law."

A CASE OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN ECUADOR Based on authentic documents and a complete and minute investigation of historical facts, "When Success is a Crime" shows the premeditated and unrelenting string of human rights violations the Government of Ecuador has unleashed against Roberto and William Isasias Dassum, the former president and vice president, respectively, of Filanbanco. The political power in Ecuador, acting through banking superintendents, Court justices, prosecutors and now the president of the republic himself, has engaged in the systematic and on-going violation of the human rights contemplated in the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man, among them the right to freedom, the right to equal standing before the law, the right to the protection [of the courts] and to honor; the right to own property, and the right to petition. The book documents the repeated violations of the right to due process, a right established in Clause 8 of the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man: "every person may appeal to the competent courts to protect him against acts that violate his fundamental rights recognized by the Constitution or the law." The violation is also shown of the very Constitution of Ecuador, which provides that "No one may be tried for an act or an omission which, at the time it took place, was not punishable as a criminal, administrative or other infraction, nor shall any punishment be applied to him which is not contemplated in the Constitution or the law ....""

"This report shows that prosecutors in three prominent cases failed to produce sufficient evidence to support serious charges or justify the years-long continuation of a criminal investigation. On March 28, 2018, a trial court in Morona Santiago will rule on the case of a Shuar indigenous leader, Agustín Wachapá, for allegedly inciting violence through a Facebook post. On March 16, a court ordered the arrest of Pepe Acacho, another Shuar indigenous leader, to serve a prison sentence over a charge he never had an opportunity to defend himself at trial."--Publisher website, viewed April 11, 2018.
