Análisis de la sentencia Nro. 38-12-AN19 en Derecho Ambiental y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS)

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which seeks to ensure the availability of clean water, its sustainable management, and sanitation for all, in relation to a ruling issued by a High Court. In this context, the case of the construction of a non-hazardous solid waste dump near a river, located at kilometer 32 of the road to Quevedo, is studied. This action gave rise to a lawsuit against the local municipality for alleged non-compliance with legal requirements and procedures. The ruling highlights how these actions have violated fundamental constitutional rights such as the right to water, a healthy environment, and the protection of nature, all of which are directly linked to the goals of SDG 6. This analysis assesses the State's responsibility in implementing sustainable policies and protecting water resources, highlighting the need to respect legal principles and international commitments to address the challenges of universal access to water and environmental sustainability.
