The recently approved Cuban Constitution enshrines effective judicial protection as the main guarantee of the rights it endorses. Due to its meaning complexity, effective judicial protection is frequently confused with access to justice or the due process of law; however, they are two of the key elements that shape a macro concept which applies to all procedural types and that indicates the accomplishment of the state function of justice administration, along with obtaining a reasoned and reasonable judgment, its enforcement and the defenselessness prohibition.

The reforms contained in Act 1/2015, of March 30th, have entailed substantial changes in the enforcement of criminal judgements particularly regarding the penalty of deprivation of liberty. To such effect, the aim of the study that follows is to analyse the main reforms. Firstly, we focus on the «enforceable title», integrated by the diverse activities intended to promote the material enforcement of the penalty, the suspension or the modification of the enforceable title and the termination of the enforcement. Secondly, we study what we call the «material enforcement», whose objective is the strict fulfilment of the penalty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Law of Civil Prosecution offers to the parties different ways to guarantee the complete fulfillment of the judicial resolutions, between them the provisional enforcement of judgments, there being established in addition the general rule of nonsuspension of the enforcement procedure. Nevertheless, though the Law of Arbitration is sent to the general rules of the enforcement procedure, it introduces the only exception, which is the possibility of suspending the enforcement procedure when against the award the action of cancellation had been urged. This prerogative places the award as an executive title of worse condition than the judgment and it debilitates without reason the efficiency of the arbitration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
