Justicia Digital e Interoperabilidad institucional, retos pospandemia.

Abstract

The whole world has been suffering in the last eighteen months from the Covid-19 pandemic that was officially declared by WHO on March 11, 2020. This public health condition forced in an accelerated way changes in all the aspects in which a society develops; even more, one like Colombia.

As a result of this new public health reality, which was reflected in all social aspects of human interaction, directly affecting (to no lesser extent) the forms and procedures of our system of administration of Justice, led to accelerate and incorporate measures and technologies to meet the new challenges posed by the pandemic and thus ensure that the Judicial Branch could continue providing a public service of Administration of Justice, which, although it is true that it is one of the most important links, it is not the only one in the complex scaffolding of our society.

But this dissertation should not focus solely on the progress of digital justice, since progress in the implementation of digital processes throughout the state apparatus, becomes indispensable if we really want to positively impact our system of administration of justice.

Example of the above, it is relevant the contentious administrative jurisdiction that although it is true that with the issuance and implementation of Law 2080 of 2021 seeks, among others, to bring the citizen closer to this jurisdiction, the truth is that within the procedural development to public entities involved in the litigation of the disputes, usually do not have implemented all their processes digitally which would expedite the issuance of documents and not just limited to the digitization of the same, which slows judicial progress.

Finally, and following our approach in the contentious-administrative jurisdiction, post-pandemic justice has quite big challenges because to achieve an effective digital justice and not a digitized justice, the interoperability of the state apparatus must be concatenated in order to comply with the ultimate goals of justice: efficiency and speed.
