Motivación en las sentencias emitidas por los jueces de primer nivel en Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: This legal work analyzes the "Motivation in the Judgments Issued by First-Level Judges in Ecuador," specifically the judgment issued by the Judicial Unit for Family, Women, Children, and Adolescents, based in the Tena canton, in Judgment No. 15951-2017-01399, concerning a domestic violence offense committed against a pregnant woman. The research was conducted using investigative sources found in digital and bibliographic media, which were the fundamental basis for achieving the objective of this project. The application of the principles of due process, presumption of innocence, adversarial proceedings, and orality is evident, as well as the evaluation of evidence under the parameters of sound rational judgment. The analytical method was employed, and an analysis was carried out using the "Motivation Sufficiency Standard Questionnaire" and the "Correct Motivation Questionnaire." This study contributes to strengthening the doctrinal framework on effective judicial protection in cases of gender-based violence and ensures that the State protects the rights of all women.
