Resumen (es)

El presente proyecto de investigación de semillero pretende analizar el derecho procesal y el desarrollo sostenible frente a los retos de la realidad colombiana. Es una investigación cualitativa de tipo descriptiva basada en el uso de bases de datos de consulta a nivel internacional, nacional, doctrinal y jurídico con herramientas tales como buscadores en Scopus y Ebsco, así como datos de gobierno actualizados y pertinentes, que permiten identificar la problemática y responder a los objetivos trazados. Los resultados revelan que un alto porcentaje de la población colombiana sufre las consecuencias de un Estado ausente y que no responde de manera diligente a sus necesidades básicas, incluido el acceso a la justicia en condiciones de igualdad. Esto genera una brecha en la administración de justicia efectiva y en condiciones de equidad, lo que obstaculiza la sostenibilidad en el presente y en el futuro cercano y retarda la paz, la justicia y las instituciones sólidas.

Palabras clave (es): sostenibilidad, debido proceso, tutela judicial efectiva, tecnología, sesgos, administración de justicia

Resumen (en)

The present research hotbed project aims to analyze procedural law and sustainable development in the face of the challenges of the Colombian reality. It is a qualitative, descriptive study based on international, national, doctrinal, and legal databases, utilizing tools such as Scopus and Ebsco search engines and up-to-date and relevant government data to identify issues and achieve set objectives. The results reveal that a high percentage of the Colombian population suffers the consequences of an absent State that does not respond promptly to their basic needs, including equal access to justice. This creates a gap in the effective administration of justice and equitable conditions, hindering sustainability in the present and the near future and delaying peace, justice, and robust institutions.

Resumen (pt)

O presente projeto de pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o direito processual e o desenvolvimento sustentável diante dos desafios da realidade colombiana. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo, baseado em bases de dados internacionais, nacionais, doutrinárias e legais, usando ferramentas como os motores de busca Scopus e Ebsco e dados governamentais atualizados e pertinentes para identificar questões e alcançar objetivos estabelecidos. Os resultados revelam que uma alta porcentagem da população colombiana sofre as consequências de um Estado ausente que não responde prontamente às suas necessidades básicas, incluindo o acesso igualitário à justiça. Isso cria uma lacuna na administração eficaz da justiça e condições equitativas, dificultando a sustentabilidade no presente e no futuro próximo, e atrasando a paz, a justiça e instituições robustas.
