Neutrosophic Analysis of the Judging of Contraventions Committed in Indigenous Justice

Abstract

The pronouncement of Ecuador as a plurinational state implies the recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples and other ethnic groups that live in the country. This fact represents a challenge for the legal sciences since mechanisms must be found to allow the harmonious functioning of ordinary and indigenous justice, in which there are associated difficulties. Like any phenomenon of practical life, it contains a part of uncertainty in the processed information, which can be taken into account with the application of Neutrosophy. The objective of the investigation is the neutrosophic analysis of the judgment of the contraventions committed in indigenous justice. To meet the objective, theoretical and empirical methods were used. Surveys were applied to 110 students of the law career, and the main difficulties associated with the judgment of indigenous justice were identified. Four professors were selected for the application of the neutrosophic soft set model, obtaining as a result the hierarchy of the difficulties encountered and the level of relevance of each one. The most relevant is the lack of an adequate legal framework that allows the organic application of ordinary and indigenous justice without duplication of sanctions.
