The data obtained in the aforementioned project were obtained through a sentence executed by the National Court of Justice case number 17282-2017-02055. Murder as such constitutes a threat not only at a legal level, but also at a civil level since it directly and indirectly affects society in general, this case study aims to analyze the arbitrariness or impunity of infanticide, all this in order to guarantee the right to life of newborns. The sentence under study evidences a problemthat arises from the ignorance of existing laws, in addition to the disrespect towards life itself. In the Ecuadorian Penal Code, infanticide is regulated in Art. 453, however, the inability of the same in terms of the harshness of the penalty establishedfor the above mentioned crime violates the principle of proportionality between the crime and the sentence.
