“Discriminatory Legalism” in Latin America: Better Justice Systems or Democratic Erosion

Democratic governance and the independence of judicial systems in Latin America are increasingly being put at risk by autocratic catalysts. The use of discriminatory legalism, the deliberate targeting of a specific group or individual for political gain, has reached new levels as empowered leaders target former presidents and independent institutions on the basis of corruption, fraud, and criminal transgressions. These challenges are further muddled by the threat of hegemonic presidents in Latin America, who claim to strengthen democratic governance but in reality, entrench their competitive authoritarian rule. The implications are dire. In Ecuador, the electoral commissions banned former president Rafael Correa under conspicuous corruption charges. Guatemala’s institutions face further erosion as the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) was allowed to expire and judicial structures are currently threatened by corrupt special interests.

The impact of the charges placed on Rafael Correa is obvious; their intentions, however, are unclear. President Lenin Moreno surprised the global community by turning against his predecessor in 2017, barring the former president from “taking the fatherland back” in 2021. In April 2020, Correa was sentenced to 8 years in prison on bribery and corruption charges, including charges based on fund allocation of political activities. The timing of these charges, however, comes at a critical moment as Lenin faces a debt structuring deal with the IMF, which would likely be reversed under a renewed Correa administration. Additionally, a referendum passed in 2018 also limited the reelection of former presidents after their second term, forcing Correa to participate as a vice-presidential candidate in the 2021 election. Incidentally, a congressional seat for Rafael Correa would provide him parliamentary immunity from these charges. 

While the National Court of Justice calls the ruling against Correa “a victory for the Ecuadorian people”, the implications for democracy are troubling. The Lenin administration initially called for a delay of the presidential election when it appeared unlikely that they would be able to sentence Correa before the nomination period; however, these concerns were quickly subdued when the ruling fell in their favor. While the corruption charges against Correa should be considered, Lenin’s efforts to disrupt the electoral process through the judiciary system introduces a dangerous precedent for future legalist exploitation.

In addition, the use of discriminatory legalism also disrupts institutions seen as a threat to the political elite. The CICIG, a UN-backed independent body set up to help fight corruption and impunity in Guatemala, was allowed to expire last year. For 12 years, the CICIG made great progress in helping dismantle illicit networks , eventually causing members of Guatemala’s political and business elite to begin “seeking ways to push back against the CICIG after many were implicated in multimillion-dollar corruption probes starting in 2015”. Its expiration also came at a time in which about one in five members of Guatemala’s Congress was under investigation for corruption. While President Jimmy Morales claims that his decision was based on the commission being “unconstitutional and a risk to national security”, Morales also faced allegations of illegal campaign donations in an investigation supported by the CICIG. 

The removal of the independent agency has made it easier for the Guatemalan Congress to meddle in the county’s courts by committing discriminatory lawfare against the Constitutional Court. Earlier this year, a candidate to the Courts of Appeals filed a motion asking the Supreme Court to remove the judicial immunity of four Constitutional Court magistrates because the magistrates acted outside the limits of the Constitutional Court’s authority in their ruling on the judicial election process, a process that has been mired by conflicts of interest. These illicit links were revealed earlier this year through the Special Prosecutor’s Office against Impunity (FECI) report on the “parallel commissions 2020” case, which centered on Gustavo Alejos’s attempt to influence the selection process. As the constitutionally-mandated Congress wages lawfare against its judicial system, Guatemala’s judicial integrity remains in peril.

The hijacking of democratic structures in Ecuador and Guatemala demonstrates a degradation of weak institutions. Autocratic catalysts have worked to erode democratic governance as a means of power abuse and influence peddling. In Ecuador and Guatemala, the manipulation of electoral proceedings and judicial and anti-corruption bodies are disguised under the constructs of democracy. These regressions threaten democratic institutions and promote self-empowerment while simultaneously decaying the state in the process. If the region does not adapt to discriminatory legalism tactics, the future of democracy will remain illusory.

Dion’s eyes went WIDE at the suggestion that just he and Red share a drink together! And a smile instantly broke out on his face once more - in fact he laughed with delight! “What an excellent suggestion!” He said, still chuckling. “Lucky for you I brought mugs as well...” And out of Blue’s saddlebags he pulled two wooden mugs! And a sort of little spigot thing, which he hammered into the keg with the butt of one of the mugs before twisting the handle on to fill each one. He offered one mug to Red, keeping the other to himself. “Not as cold as it should be, sadly, but still one of the finest ales in all of King Deidan’s lands,” he said, grinning. “Did they have ale, where you come from?”

The human was right, it would be easier. To have Teival translate for him. To give in, to those blue eyes that begged him. But, he firmly shook his head and redid his sleeping gesture to insist that Teival was sleeping. His master deserved his rest, and certainly earned it, and he could deal with the frustration of their language barrier. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time he’s struggled. He could handle this.

He then looked to the ale, made a cup with his hands and made a drinking motion. After that, he pointed to Dion and then himself, as if to say that they could share it amongst themselves. That is, if the human was so insistent about drinking it. Red was certainly curious about it, but, he certainly didn’t mind one way or the other, if they did or didn’t drink the odd liquid.
