Abstract

Abstract: This thesis analyzes the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on SDG No. 16, which aims to promote just, peaceful, and inclusive societies by ensuring access to justice and trust in institutions. The study explores the historical development of the SDGs and provides a legal analysis of the case Palacios Urrutia v. Ecuador, presented before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, from a constitutional, international, and human rights perspective. Using a qualitative methodology, the research evaluates how the violation of fundamental rights in the case reveals non compliance with SDG 16, especially regarding the protection of personal integrity, access to effective judicial mechanisms, and institutional accountability. The objective is to demonstrate the need to strengthen the rule of law in Ecuador and to emphasize the importance of public institutions acting in accordance with legal frameworks. Ultimately, this study highlights the interaction between human rights, constitutional justice, and sustainable development as essential pillars for the construction of a peaceful, equitable, and trustworthy society.
