In 1997 the Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities stated that « habeas corpus/amparo has been gradually recognized non-derogable…because of the recognition that without the ability to challenge the legality of one’s detention, especially in times of public emergency, one will never be assured of the other fundamental rights in the Covenant ».

The APT fully endorses this view which acknowledges the cross-cutting nature of the right to habeas corpus in ensuring that the most basic human rights are protected. Along these lines, it considers that the right to a fair trial fulfills a similar function in ensuring that the non-derogable rights set out in article 4 (2) are indeed safeguarded.

amparo


Explanation:
There are all sorts of "amparo" actions and they vary from country to country. Most U.S. lawyers refer to them as "amparo" actions because they are unique to Spanish-speaking countries. The most common form of what is known as amparo in Mexico is known as an "acción de tutela" in Colombia. If you must translate it, you can call "petition for constitutional relief," but that's not perfect either...
