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: In this paper, entitled Academic Preferences of Law Students and Their Connection to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the Study of Judgments, a legal analysis was conducted of Judgment No. 1325-15-EP/22 issued by the Constitutional Court on the case of violation of the collective right to free, prior, and informed consultation of the Shuar indigenous people. The conflict arose when members of the Shuar Arutam Association and the Assembly of the Southern Peoples sued the Ministry of the Environment and the State Attorney General's Office. Despite the initial rejection of the lawsuit for failure to exhaust prior remedies and the subsequent denial of the appeal, the Court admitted the extraordinary protection action in 2016. The process, characterized by the participation of amicus curiae and the intervention of multiple stakeholders, demonstrated the complexity of protecting collective and environmental rights. The ruling reflects the interaction between environmental law and SDG 15 on the life of terrestrial ecosystems, underscoring the importance of effective justice to guarantee environmental rights.
