SANTIAGO, Chile, June 16 (UPI) -- President Daniel Noboa's administration won legislative approval for two key laws aimed at strengthening its response to rising organized crime and violence in Ecuador.
However, the limited debate surrounding the passage of the Intelligence Law and the National Solidarity Law has drawn criticism.
Noboa has defended both laws as essential tools to fight drug trafficking, but some legal experts disagree with the measures.
"Even if Noboa's actions are well-intentioned, both laws must be reviewed to ensure the fight against drug trafficking doesn't violate the Constitution," legal expert Pablo Encalada said.
