The application of indigenous justice in Ecuador is a topic of interest given its implications for the social life of the nation. The problem focuses on the fact that this constitutes a part of the country's cultural heritage, but in turn, sometimes contradicts the so-called ordinary justice. Due to the, it is proposed as the objective of the investigation to propose the most appropriate actions to mitigate the limitations of the application of indigenous justice in Ecuador. Empirical methods such as the interview, the cause-effect diagram, and multi-criteria decision methods such as Promethee and Vikor were used for this. It was obtained as a result that the main actions must strengthen the communication system through dialogues and conferences of judicial institutions, with the objective of Indigenous Justice, to increase the knowledge on that topic among the members of the society, and encourage the protection of the ethnical minorities and, in turn, set the necessary limits in each territory, to prevent the violation of rights and impunity, and to achieve that the indigenous communities comply with all the stipulated on the Constitution, the international treaties that Ecuador has signed, considering the indigenous justice as an immediate source of right.

Venezuelan migration to neighboring countries in the area is a phenomenon that has been growing in recent years. Ecuador is one of the main countries where migrants who leave Venezuela have gone to reside.They initially arrived in the country as a transit to reach other countries, however, over time many of them decided to settle in Ecuador permanently. Venezuelan migration in our country presents certain characteristics, such as the youth of those who arrive, the high educational level, and the motivation for economic improvement that prompted them to emigrate at first and in a second wave for family reunification. This research aims to apply a survey to know more precisely the economic, social, labor, and humanitarian situation of this sector of migration in the country. We selected a model that uses NeutroAlgebra and is generated by the PROSPECTOR function. PROSPECTOR function is the well-known function used in the classic medical expert system MYCIN, while NeutroAlgebra is an algebra that has at least one NeutroOperation or one NeutroAxiom, where some cases are indeterminate. This model has previously been used in the evaluation of medical care of migrants in Chile. However, unlike the model we are inspired on, here input data are linguistic terms associated with Single-Valued Neutrosophic Numbers, which allows respondents to express more reliably what they want to say.
