Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Análisis de la motivación en sentencias de acción de protección en el cantón Cuenca durante el 2024(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Guamán Alvacora, Lady Thalía; Pinos Jaén, Camilo Emanuel; 0350082525This study examined the guarantee of motivation in protection actions judgments issued in Cuenca during 2024, within the framework of Ecuador’s constitutional state of rights and justice. It aimed to determine whether the judges of the Provincial Court of Justice of Azuay properly applied the standards of motivational sufficiency set by the Constitutional Court, which require proper normative and factual justification, along with an analysis of rights violations. Methodologically, a mixed approach was employed: both theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical stage, the inductive-deductive method was used, based on a review of doctrine and case law, while in the empirical stage, 97 appeal judgments were analyzed, selected through a probabilistic sample from a total of 258 proceedings. The data were organized and statistically analyzed to identify the argumentative criteria and the adequacy of the judicial reasoning. The results showed that most judgments referenced regulations, but many lacked thorough factual and constitutional analysis. It was also observed that chambers handling the heaviest caseloads provided lower-quality arguments. The research concluded that judicial reasoning remains a structural weakness of the Ecuadorian judicial system. Therefore, it is important to enhance training in constitutional argumentation and improve mechanisms for quality control of judgments.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , El régimen de tutela y la responsabilidad de cuidado para los animales de compañía como sujetos de derechos en relación al divorcio en Ecuador(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Landy Pacheco , Melanie Geovanna; Calle Masache, Nube Catalina; 0105714430This research examines guardianship and caregiving responsibility for companion animals during divorce proceedings in our country. The goal is to analyze how the absence or lack of such provisions in Ecuadorian law violates the rights of companion animals when their caregivers’ marriages are dissolved. This study employs a qualitative methodology, using a legal-logical-deductive approach, analyzing concepts, doctrines, and both national and international regulations. It also adopts a comparative legal approach by examining international laws and regulatory experiences in countries like Spain, Portugal, and Argentina. According to the results, despite Ecuador’s notable progress in protecting animals, including companion animals, there remains much to be improved legally to promote animal welfare. Compared to other countries, Ecuador lacks specific regulations aimed at fully protecting companion animals during divorce proceedings. These regulatory gaps and shortcomings prevent the rights of companion animals to be protected or cared for from being realized, leading to a violation of their actual protection and welfare.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , La influencia de la presión mediática en la independencia judicial en los procesos penales en Ecuador.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Vallejo Delgado, Juan Sebastián; Monsalve Robalino, Bernardo Xavier; 0150715787Judicial independence guarantees that Ecuadorian judges resolve legal cases in accordance with the Constitution and the law, without interference, external pressures, or political or economic interests. However, in high-profile criminal proceedings, the performance of the media, whether traditional or digital, has become an element capable of undermining the judicial case and citizens' discernment of judicial decisions. The cases of high public interest detailed show that media pressure coincides with sensitive judicial proceedings, such as the formulation of charges or the resolution of the sentence. In this context, negative media coverage can influence a particular case, creating perceptions of bias or partiality, to the extent that they even prejudge the decision that belongs solely to the judge, even when the decision is in accordance with the law.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Insuficiencia de las facultades del curador ad-litem como garante de los derechos de los menores en el código civil ecuatoriano(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Baculima Jaramillo, Anthony Sebastián; Calle Masache, Nube Catalina; 0107906943This paper focuses on the legal figure of the curator ad litem, aiming to determine whether Ecuadorian legislation currently plays an effective role in guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents, considering that the regulatory framework limits itself to outlining only its ultimate purpose and does not even address their powers, duties, or limitations —an omission that may lead to inefficiency in the performance of the role. Therefore, the hypothesis emerges that the curator for lawsuits functions merely as a formality, detached from the main criterion of a guarantor of rights. In light of this, the analysis focuses on examining theories that restrict constitutional rights, as well as the principle of the best interests of the child in divorce proceedings. To this end, the study draws on attorneys’ experiences gathered from their practical work in judicial proceedings and compares it with legislation that reflects significant advances in the application of this legal concept. Suppose it is determined that the failure to clarify the curator’s powers is the root cause of having a merely nominal curator, the study will compile best practices adopted in other legal systems that are susceptible to application in Ecuador, not only to identify legal problems but also to provide criteria for resolving them.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Aplicación de garantías en los acuerdos de mediación para asegurar el cumplimiento efectivo de las actas en la ciudad de Cuenca durante el periodo 2025(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Cajamarca Cáceres , Ruth Estefanía; Carrasco Loyola, Juan José; 0302501846This study focuses on the implementation of guarantees in mediation agreements in the city of Cuenca, aiming to analyze the extent to which these mechanisms help ensure that the agreements signed by the parties are actually fulfilled, preferably automatically at the same venue where the methodology was applied to achieve conflict resolution. It examines the current legal framework, the role of mediation centers, and users’ perceptions regarding mandatory compliance and the monitoring of assumed obligations. Qualitative data were collected on the topic, highlighting the main obstacles to implementing and enforcing agreements. The research aims to identify problems in the control systems and proposes critical and reflective thinking that can introduce stronger legal and administrative guarantees, thereby enhancing legal certainty in the mediation process. The findings aim to support the development of protocols and public policies that strengthen mediation as a reliable and effective alternative method of conflict resolution.
