The Foundation for Institutionalism and Justice (Finjus) is arguing for the creation of a Constitutional Court, an entity that would be autonomous and independent. The foundation believes that is the clearest and most efficient way to reform the justice system.
Finjus executive vice-president Servio Tulio Castanos Guzman says the new chamber would enable "important steps to be taken to strengthen the internal independence of the Justice Power, create the basis for the "second wave" of judicial system reforms, democratize the government of the Judicial Branch, and specialize constitutional justice."
He said that the Finjus has emphatically defended the need to create a specialized constitutional jurisdiction that can remake the culture of what is constitutional through strengthening the mechanism for guaranteeing fundamental rights and liberties.
Castanos stated that the Dominican Republic is one of the few nations in Latin America that places the full body of the Supreme Court in control of what is constitutional and what is not. He commented that the creation of a specialized constitutional jurisdiction is unavoidable if we take into consideration the integrated character of the constitutional reform that is currently going through the National Assembly.
