Abstract

Abstract: The critical, analytical and legal study of sentence No. 1389-19-EP/23, issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, which is related to the subject of Family Law, specifically referring to Protection Measures of Institutional Foster Care, constitutes the central axis of this integrated work of knowledge. This legal branch is responsible for the application of the precepts established in International and National Conventions, with particular emphasis on the Organic Code of Children and Adolescents, whose primary objective is to safeguard the rights of minors who have been institutionalized in shelters due to being at risk or negligence by their nuclear family, also within this regulation the grounds for the granting, modification and termination of protection measures are contemplated, as well as everything related to the welfare and integral development of minors and their families. In this context, the analysis is intertwined with Sustainable Development Goal No. 16, called Peace, Justice or Strong Institutions , which pursues at national and international level the promotion of the rule of law, the guarantee of equal access to justice for all, and the establishment of effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels. These guidelines are directly linked to the review of the case study in which a violation of due process was found concerning the right to be heard in a timely manner and in conditions of equality, putting the principle of the best interests of the child, effective judicial protection and family coexistence first. These aspects were recognized by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, revealing the importance of ensuring respect for the fundamental rights of minors and the need to strengthen institutions aimed at guaranteeing impartial and equitable justice for all citizens.
