description We present an exploratory qualitative analysis from the standpoint of Political Science about the argumentation sustained in the initiatives of the Internal Security Law (LSI) presented by the Institutional Revolutionary Party, the National Action Party and the Party of the Democratic Revolution. Two operative concepts guide the analysis: reason of State and human rights, both present in the implicit justifications of those who promote the law, and in those of its detractors, who qualify it as a violation of human rights. In this last point, we concentrate on reviewing two unconstitutionality actions presented by the National Commission of Human Rights and by a group of opposition legislators who did not vote in favor of the LSI in the Sixty-Third Legislature. We aim to show the collision of arguments between the vision of the State, which wants to legally legitimize the presence of the Army in the streets, and the other vision, which assumes a guaranteeing justification of human rights.

Presentamos un análisis cualitativo exploratorio-descriptivo desde la Ciencia Política acerca de la argumentación sostenida en las iniciativas de la Ley de Seguridad Interior (LSI) presentadas por el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), el Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) y el Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD). Dos conceptos operativos guían el análisis: razón de Estado y derechos humanos, presentes tanto en las justificaciones implícitas de quienes impulsan la Ley como en las de sus detractores, quienes la califican de violatoria de derechos humanos. En este último punto, nos concentramos en revisar dos acciones de inconstitucionalidad presentadas por la Comisión Nacional de los Derechos Humanos (CNDH) y por un grupo de legisladores de oposición que no votaron a favor de la LSI en la Sexagésima Tercera Legislatura. Nos interesa mostrar la colisión de argumentos entre la visión de Estado, que quiere legitimar jurídicamente la presencia del Ejército en las calles y la otra visión, que asume una justificación garantista de los derechos humanos.

Nós apresentamos uma análise qualitativa exploratória do ponto de vista da ciência política sobre o argumento apresentado nos esforços da Lei de Segurança Interna (ISA) apresentados pelos partidos políticos (PRI, PAN e PRD). Começamos com dois conceitos operacionais que orientam a análise: razões de direitos de estado e humanos que estão presentes em ambas as justificativas implícitas dos defensores da lei, como seus detratores que classificação violação dos direitos humanos. Sobre este último ponto, nós nos concentramos em analisar duas ações de inconstitucionalidade apresentada pela Comissão Nacional de Direitos Humanos (CNDH) e um grupo de parlamentares da oposição que não votaram a favor da LSI na sexagésima terceira Legislatura. O que queremos mostrar é a colisão de argumentos entre a visão do Estado que quer legalmente legitimar a presença do Exército nas ruas e a outra visão que pressupõe uma justificativa garantidora dos direitos humano FLACSO - Sede Ecuador 2018-11-26 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html application/zip https://revistas.flacsoandes.edu.ec/urvio/article/view/3453 10.17141/urvio.23.2018.3453 URVIO.
