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 sentencia

Abstract

Abstract: This paper addresses the relevance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a special emphasis on SDG 3, which seeks to ensure health and well-being for all people, prioritizing care for the most vulnerable sectors of the population. Through the analysis of a representative ruling issued by the Ecuadorian judicial system, it identifies structural inequalities in the justice system and in the provision of health care services, framed by shortcomings related to the implementation of public policies and the effective protection of fundamental human rights, including the right to health, life, and decent living conditions, and social security protection. In particular, the study assesses the legal language of the rulings and observes substantial progress in their motivation and justification, but identifies deficiencies in terms of the speed of decision-making and proportionality of sanctions. It also emphasizes comprehensive reparation and guarantees of non-repetition and proposes the need to strengthen public policies regarding universal health coverage. Finally, the paper reflects on the role of legal education in developing ethical professionals committed to sustainable development and social equity.
