Abstract
El indulto es una facultad presidencial de antiquísima data y de tradicional desarrollo en nuestro país, que al ser una facultad discrecional propende a la vulneración de derechos fundamentales, así como a la posible infracción a normas de derecho internacional, de ahí que esta institución ha traído nefastas consecuencias en la aplicación de justicia, fenómeno que ocurre generalmente cuando dicha facultad es ejercida de manera abusiva.
Consecuentemente con lo expuesto, se desarrolla un análisis crítico respecto de las ventajas y desventajas que presenta este instituto, teniendo como eje las actuales exigencias del Estado de Derecho en relación al respeto a los derechos fundamentales, lo que nos ha instado como grupo a proponer el debate respecto de la legislación existente en la materia.
Con tal propósito, este trabajo presenta una innovadora propuesta que busca hacer más transparente el ejercicio de esta facultad, con la finalidad de generar equidad y contribuir al bien común de nuestra sociedad.
