Abstract

Abstract: This thesis analyzes Judgment No. 2167-21-EP/22 issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, within the case related to the extraordinary protection action filed by citizens Ann and Pamela Monge Froebelius, in the framework of the environmental and patrimonial affectation caused by the pollution of the Monjas River in the Metropolitan District of Quito. The study starts from the legal problem focused on determining whether the omissions of the Municipality of Quito and its entities violated constitutional rights such as the right to live in a healthy environment, the right to water, to a safe habitat, to sustainable development, to the city, the rights of nature and the right to cultural heritage. Analyze from a legal and constitutional perspective the decision of the Constitutional Court regarding motivation, state responsibility for environmental damage and comprehensive reparation. For this work, a qualitative methodology was used, analyzing constitutional regulations, organic laws focused on nature, doctrine, and international instruments. The Court, he emphasized, recognized the violation of rights, responsibility for environmental impacts, the need for urban watersheds, and the importance of adopting public policies focused on nature. It concludes that this ruling constitutes a significant advance in the guarantee of collective and environmental rights and represents a call to local governments to take their responsibilities in environmental and urban planning management seriously.
