Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible a través del estudio de sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: This research paper focuses on the analysis of a ruling issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador on March 15, 2023, in the context of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 16, which promotes peace, justice and the construction of strong institutions. Through a qualitative approach and a descriptive method, the aspects that influence judicial decision-making are examined, as well as the regulations in force in Ecuador. The research highlights the importance of integrating the SDGs into the training of law students, allowing a better understanding of their role in promoting social justice. In addition, the challenges that the Covid-19 pandemic has brought to the fulfillment of SDG 16 are analyzed. The selected ruling is perceived as a reference in Ecuadorian jurisprudence, underlining the need for future lawyers to develop a critical and ethical sense in their professional practice. Recommendations are proposed to strengthen the link between the theory of law and its practical application in the context of the SDGs.
