Abstract

Equality implies seeking similar treatment, under similar conditions. Therefore, it can be assumed as a prerogative, a maxim of action and a state obligation in accordance with the international legal commitments that have been assumed. The general purpose of this research is to understand the implications of equality as a right and a democratic value, with special reference to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, for which a qualitative documentary research is carried out that supports its argument with journalistic, doctrinal, scientific and legal texts selected mostly under 5 years old, combining key words on the topic, which allows establishing as sections of the production the introduction, the development and the respective final considerations. It is concluded that the protection of the principle of equality constitutes a duty that has been violated on repeated occasions by the Venezuelan State, therefore, the deviations created there can be redirected with joint action between the government and civil society, so that in an exercise of citizenship, they formulate proposals and promote the development of public policies aimed at the materialization of the aforementioned democratic value.
