Características de los procesos penales (investigación previa al juicio y juicio) en el momento de la pandemia covid-19

Palabras clave: Procedimientos criminales, Covid-19, investigación previa al juicio, cuarentena, derechos humanos y libertades

Resumen

El artículo analiza los principales problemas y características que han surgido en el campo de la justicia penal (instrucción y juicio) durante la pandemia. La relevancia del tema es que la justicia penal, al igual que otras áreas de la actividad humana, se ha visto afectada tras la propagación del Covid-19 y su reconocimiento legal como pandemia. La aprobación de medidas de cuarentena estuvo acompañada de algunas cuestiones problemáticas, incluida la incertidumbre en el trabajo del poder judicial y los organismos encargados de hacer cumplir la ley, la falta de un enfoque unificado para los horarios de los tribunales y otros aspectos de la investigación. Por ello, resulta necesario analizar las peculiaridades del proceso penal (instrucción y juicio) durante una pandemia. Para el efecto, se utilizó una metodología exploratoria y colativa que toma en cuenta el derecho comparado. Se han hecho propuestas para abordar los problemas que surgen durante la investigación previa al juicio y los procesos penales en una pandemia, en particular: la necesidad de permitir la videoconferencia en los procesos penales fuera de los tribunales; se ha definido una lista de programas para la comunicación por video; proporcionar fondos adecuados para el reequipamiento técnico; suspender los términos del proceso penal, y; prevenir en el futuro la situación de anulación de decisiones previamente adoptadas sobre el fortalecimiento de la responsabilidad penal por infección intencional.
