Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the relationship between Administrative Law and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 16: Peace, Justice and Sound Institutions, based on a critical examination of Ruling No. 260-15-SEP-CC, issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador. General Objective: To examine the way in which the use of Administrative Law allows the improvement of public sector entities complying with the procedure established in the legal system in accordance with the framework of SDG 16 and in compatibility with the Ecuadorian constitutional order. We proceeded in the first instance with a qualitative approach through the analysis of normative, doctrinal and jurisprudential sources, using the technique of the academic file and the specialized bibliographic review and the constitutional case study. The analyzed sentence links the Transit Commission of Ecuador to the question of the legality of dismissing the public servant for lack of functions. The findings make it clear that the retrospective application of rules violates the tempus regit actum principle and, therefore, introduces legal instability, the consequences of which become a precedent in some way towards the limitation of administrative autonomy. In short, administrative law is a crucial tool for developing new and effective institutions, providing access to justice and strengthening the rule of law in compliance with SDG 16 in Ecuador. This study also highlights the importance of a constitutional interpretation that respects legal stability and institutional competencies.
