The president of Ecuador’s Judicial Council, Mario Godoy, took part in the 10th Global Roundtable on Equal Access to Justice organized by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The event brought together judicial leaders, ministers, and experts from over 40 countries.
A central component of the roundtable was the “Justice Leaders Dialogue,” where participants discussed strategic issues such as transforming justice into a public service, rebuilding institutional trust, and moving toward resilient and data-driven judicial systems.
Representing Ecuador alongside José Suing, president of the National Court of Justice, Godoy highlighted progress made in modernizing the judiciary and strengthening institutions. Both officials reiterated Ecuador’s commitment to the rule of law and to Sustainable Development Goal 16.3, which promotes equal access to justice for all.
The roundtable was jointly organized by the OECD and Spain’s Ministry of Justice, Rights and Memory. Its goal is to encourage public policies that foster inclusive, transparent, and people-centered justice systems through international cooperation and dialogue.
“The participation of the Judicial Council in this space reaffirms Ecuador’s leadership and commitment to reliable and modern justice that strengthens citizens’ trust and contributes to democratic development,” said officials from the Judicial Council.
