Exequátur sobre incapacidad y privación de derechos en materia electoral. Un estudio desde la perspectiva del DIPr y del Derecho comparado, a la luz de la sentencia de la Corte Suprema de Chile emitida en el Rol nº 87.878-2023

This paper focuses on the study of an exequatur on incapacity and deprivation of rights in electoral matters. In particular, it analyses a judgement of the Supreme Court of Chile, issued in Rol Nº 87.878-2023, which recognises and executes a Spanish judgement, prior to the entry into force of Law 8/2021, which declared the total incapacity of a person and decreed the deprivation of his or her right to vote. Given the interest aroused by the aforementioned Chilean judgement, both from the perspective of Private International Law and Comparative Civil Law, the international and material elements that link the Spanish and Chilean legal systems in this case are confronted. To this end, beforehand, and in relation to the matter of interest here, some provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Hague Convention of 13 January 2000 on the International Protection of Adults, the Law on International Legal Cooperation in Civil Matters, Organic Law 2/2018 and Law 8/2021 are dealt with.
