Resumen

Este artículo analiza las contradicciones doctrinales entre la desmaterialización de los procedimientos de ejecución y el Estado de derecho, utilizando Armenia como caso de estudio para las democracias en transición. Aplica el modelo sociojurídico predictivo para evaluar los riesgos de eliminar el auto de ejecución y reducir la función judicial a una mera certificación electrónica antes de las reformas de 2026. Al comparar los proyectos de ley de Armenia con los modelos de Estonia y Brasil, los resultados indican que la digitalización total crea un déficit institucional, en el que la validez técnica prevalece sobre la justicia sustantiva. El estudio revela que, sin salvaguardias, la notificación automatizada codifica el formalismo, convirtiendo los fallos técnicos en denegaciones sistémicas de derechos. Aunque la reforma está pendiente, este análisis identifica fallos arquitectónicos que requieren una corrección inmediata. El artículo concluye que para evitar la desubjetivación del poder judicial es necesario legislar una presunción digital de buena fe y mantener el principio de intervención humana.
