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 study of law students' academic preferences is linked to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 through the analysis of the Huacón Baidal and Others vs. Ecuador case. This judgment, issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on October 4, 2022, addressed severe human rights violations in Ecuador, including the right to life, personal integrity, and judicial guarantees. The Court approved a friendly settlement agreement between the victims and the Ecuadorian State, acknowledging the State's responsibility for the violations and establishing reparative measures. These measures include investigating the facts, providing access to higher education for the victims, and public acknowledgment of responsibility. This ruling highlights the importance of ensuring justice and legal security, aligning with SDG 16, which aims to strengthen institutions and promote effective justice. The analysis of this judgment illustrates how SDG principles can be applied in judicial practice to enhance human rights protection and institutional strengthening.
