Abstract

Abstract: Legal uncertainty in Ecuador is closely linked to the principle of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 16, which seeks to promote just, peaceful, and inclusive societies. Inconsistencies in the application of laws and a lack of regulatory clarity contribute to legal uncertainty, negatively affecting trust in the judicial system and discouraging both domestic and foreign investment. This is the central focus of this research. The methodology applied was a systematic method with a theoretical-deductive orientation, as it integrates a connection between law and social and economic phenomena. As a result of the research, it is concluded that, in the context of the ruling studied, the Ecuadorian State must improve legal certainty by applying coherent laws and addressing legal uncertainty within the framework of SDG 16. This is crucial to strengthening the rule of law and moving toward a more equitable, peaceful, and prosperous society, where all citizens can access justice effectively and reliably.
