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

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes judicial motivation in rulings concerning the late registration of births in Ecuador, with a focus on the case of Manuel Darío Macías Bone. The primary objective is to evaluate how adequate judicial motivation ensures transparency and respect for fundamental rights, specifically the right to identity for a minor. The research was conducted in Quito, Ecuador, concentrating on the ruling in the mentioned case. A qualitative approach was employed, using documentary analysis of the ruling as the main technique. Data was gathered on constitutional norms and civil registry laws that supported the judge s decision. The research also identified shortcomings in the administrative system of the Civil Registry, which contributed to the omission of the birth registration. The conclusion highlights the importance of strengthening judicial training, improving the management of the Civil Registry, and ensuring access to justice for vulnerable cases, in order to protect citizens' rights and enhance public administration.
