Abstract

This academic research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of Judgment No. 983-18-JP/21 issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, which represents a milestone in the protection of the rights of persons in situations of human mobility. The case underlying this judgment exposes the negligence of the public health system in denying timely medical care to a newborn of refugee parents, resulting in the infant's death. This study focuses on the strict liability of the Ecuadorian State regarding the violation of fundamental rights, such as the right to life, health, access to public services, the principle of non-refoulement, and family unity.
