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 sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: This research was conducted in the province of Morona Santiago, specifically in the city of Macas, and had the general objective of analyzing the treatment of pretrial detention for individuals with mental illnesses, based on ruling 718-JH and its accumulations issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. The methodology was qualitative in nature; no numerical sample was applied due to the theoretical focus of this study. The techniques used included documentary analysis through the bibliographic review of various legal sources, reports from international organizations, and scientific articles. The instruments employed included analysis sheets and a matrix. The results show that pretrial detention for individuals with mental disorders violates fundamental rights and can worsen their condition. It is concluded that rehabilitation centers are not appropriate spaces for this vulnerable group, and a call is made to apply alternative measures that respect their right to integrity, always upholding the principle of priority attention to vulnerable groups, in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 3.
