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 curricular integration project aims to explore the academic preferences of Law students and their connection to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 16, which focuses on peace, justice, and strong institutions. As a jurisprudential axis, the study is framed around the ruling in Flor Freire v. Ecuador, issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in 2016. This case enables a critical examination of how equality and non-discrimination are addressed within state institutions, particularly the Armed Forces. The research interweaves theoretical components of Constitutional Law and Human Rights with international protection standards, emphasizing the transformative role judicial decisions can play in institutional reform and the reinforcement of the rule of law. The methodological approach combines documentary review and empirical inquiry, gathering insights from Law students regarding their areas of greatest legal affinity. The findings reveal a marked preference for fields concerned with the protection of fundamental rights. Within this framework, the research promotes a reflective analysis on the transformative impact of legal education in building inclusive and equitable societies, in alignment with the guiding principles of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
