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.
