Abstract

Abstract: This research paper contains a legal analysis of the Judgment of August 24, 2021, issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of Villarroel Merino et al. v. Ecuador, which is related to Sustainable Development Goal No. 16 "Peace, justice and strong institutions." The Inter-American Court of Human Rights determined the violation of the right to personal liberty, the presumption of innocence, and equality before the law, as provided for in Articles 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3. 7.5, 7.6, 8.2, and 24 of the American Convention on Human Rights, as well as the violation of the right to a fair trial established in Article 8.1 of the same legal framework, through perjury by Mr. Jorge Humberto Villarroel Merino, Mr. Mario Romel Cevallos Moreno, Mr. Jorge Enrique Coloma Gaibor, Mr. Fernando Marcelo López Ortiz, Mr. Leoncio Amílcar Ascázubi Albán, and Mr. Alfonso Patricio Vinueza Pánchez. The violation of these rights protected by SDG No. 16 represents a lack of analysis within the Ecuadorian regulatory framework that led to a ruling that was not in accordance with legal provisions.
