American countries ... Philippine Constitution, the definition of judicial power was expanded to ... Definition of the word amparo The Writ of Amparo. The nature and time-tested role of amparo has shown that it is an effective and inexpensive instrument for the protection of constitutional rights.1 Amparo, literally “to protect,” originated in Mexico and spread throughout the Western Hemisphere where it has gradually evolved into various forms, depending on the particular needs of each country.2 It started as a protection against acts or omissions of public authorities in violation of constitutional rights. Later, however, the writ evolved for several purposes:3 (1) For the protection of personal freedom, equivalent to the habeas corpus writ (called amparo libertad); (2) For the judicial review of the constitutionality of statutes (called amparo contra leyes); (3) For the judicial review of the constitutionality and legality of a judicial decision (called amparo casacion); (4) For the judicial review of administrative actions (called amparo administrativo); and (5) For the protection of peasants’ rights derived from the agrarian reform process (called amparo agrario). The writ of amparo has been constitutionally adopted by Latin American countries, except Cuba, to protect against human rights abuses especially during the time they were governed by military juntas. Generally, these countries adopted the writ to provide for a remedy to protect the whole range of constitutional rights, including socio-economic rights. I believe that the term you found does apply in this case, only that I would include the word "amparo" between brackets after it. |
