Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la Carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: The Curricular Integration Work in the UTPL Law School recognizes the determining factors in the choice of specialization by graduates. Likewise, students' ability to apply the skills acquired in solving legal problems relevant to their future career, whether in public or private settings, is evaluated. This approach seeks to promote social responsibility practices among graduates, highlighting the importance of analyzing cases in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The ruling of the Ecuadorian Constitutional Court, issued on February 24, 2021 in case No. 16-20-CN/21, addresses the issue of Family, Women, Children and Adolescence, and is directly linked to SDG 16: peace, justice and solid institutions. In this context, a careful analysis is carried out to determine if any violation of the child's best interest right has occurred. This legal exercise highlights the relevance of aligning judicial decisions with the fundamental principles of the SDGs, underlining the intrinsic connection between the legal field and the global sustainable development goals.
