To this end, robust administrations attentive to the fulfillment of their legal obligations of good governance and good administration are needed. Compliance in which judicial review has a relevant role. The objective of the work, which follows a legal methodology, is to analyze the aforementioned aspects, including judicial techniques to enforce the right to good administration.
