Implementación de los Medios Electrónicos Como Herramienta para Mejorar la Administración de Justicia En Colombia

Abstract

The digitization of the judicial system in Colombia represents a crucial issue in the modern era, marked by technological advances that promise to revolutionize the administration of justice (Sarmiento and Peña, 2023). In this context, the dissertation investigates the implementation of electronic media as a catalyst to improve efficiency, accessibility and security in the administration of justice in the country. The central question guiding this study is: What is the impact of the adoption of digital technologies in the Colombian judicial system, and how can these electronic means overcome existing challenges to provide more efficient and accessible justice? The central argument is based on the premise that the incorporation of digital technologies within the judicial system is not only necessary but imperative for its modernization and optimization. Through a detailed literature review and qualitative analysis, this research hypothesizes that digitization can significantly reduce waiting times in the resolution of cases and improve information management and judicial communication, facilitating wider access to justice, especially in remote and marginalized areas. The conclusion of the study underlines that while digitization presents clear benefits in terms of efficiency and accessibility, it also brings with it significant challenges such as the digital divide and the need to ensure data confidentiality and security. The dissertation emphasizes the importance of addressing these concerns through policies and practices that ensure a secure and effective implementation of digital technologies in the judicial system. Thus, it calls for continued investment in technology and training, as well as additional research to assess the long-term impact of digitization on Colombian justice, focusing on sustainability and continuous improvement of access to justice for all citizens.
