Abstract

En conclusión, en el Ecuador se ha legislado la penalidad en la falsificación de documentos como un delito contra la fe pública que protege esencialmente el derecho a la verdad, basada en la premisa que este delito lesiona a la verdad y en consecuencia a la entera confianza que sobre ellos debe tenerse en las distintas relaciones que genera el tráfico de los mismos.
