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: The research work comprehensively addresses the 921-21-EP/24 judgment of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, starting from its relationship with SDG 16 Peace, Justice and Solid Institutions. Applying a systematic and critical methodological approach, the study examines the result of a specific jurisdictional decision aimed at contributing to the construction of more equitable and just societies. The research accounts for the importance of criminal law as a tool for social transformation, demonstrating that the judicial system is not only called upon to apply norms, but must become a means of protecting fundamental rights. The analysis of the judgment reveals the structural complexities of the Ecuadorian judicial system and highlights the responsibility to review institutional protocols, organizational culture, and the training process for justice operators. The research work demonstrates the importance of relating legal training to global development agendas, in order to train professionals capable of understanding law as a means for social change that promotes a critical and interdisciplinary perspective that goes beyond mere normative understanding.
