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 study examines the judgment issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on February 3, 2020, in the case Carranza Alarcón v. Ecuador, linking it to Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16), which focuses on access to justice and institutional strengthening. The Court determined that the Ecuadorian State violated the rights to personal liberty and judicial guarantees of Ramón Rosendo Carranza Alarcón, protected under Articles 7 and 8 of the American Convention on Human Rights. These violations included the disproportionate use of preventive detention and the unjustified delay in resolving the case, which undermined essential principles such as due process and the presumption of innocence. The analysis reveals structural problems in the Ecuadorian justice system, such as the arbitrary application of precautionary measures and procedural delays. It also highlights the connection between this judgment and SDG 16, emphasizing the need to ensure independent and transparent institutions. Finally, the Court s decision constitutes a significant precedent for strengthening the rule of law and promoting international human rights standards in the region.
