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 present legal research examines the judgment 363-15-EP/21 issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador in a case of domestic violence, identifying its connection with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 3 on health and well-being. Through the analysis of the content of this SDG, doctrine on the right to health, relevant national and international regulations, case background, arguments, and judicial resolution, it is demonstrated how vulnerabilities in due process in domestic violence investigations contravene broader public health objectives, given the risks that this type of violence poses to the physical and mental integrity of the victims. The study identifies significant gaps in the incorporation of this SDG within Ecuador's state planning in health policies, which maintain an excessively sectoral and biomedical focus, without considering structural determinants or adopting an intersectional approach that places the experiences of historically discriminated groups at the center. On the other hand, in the field of criminal law, innovations and complexities related to the incorporation of new technologies during judicial processes are evident. The judgment represents a limited advancement as it would require more comprehensive institutional transformations within the justice administration system to reform patterns of impunity in the face of domestic violence.
