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 focuses on the judgment issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of Palacio Urrutia et al. v. Ecuador, and in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 16, using scientifically valid procedures for its analysis. This study concludes that the Ecuadorian State has violated the rights of journalists, rights protected by national and international standards, and the 2030 Agenda. The study reveals that the executive branch interfered in the judicial system by interfering in the sentences that are favorable to the plaintiff without respecting the guarantees of due process. This analysis evidences the lack of judicial independence and the manipulation of the justice system to silence the press critical of governments, which constitutes a serious violation of human rights, judicial guarantees and freedom of expression, altering institutionality and democracy.
