Constitutional Protection of Human Rights in Latin America: A Comparative Study of 'Amparo' Proceedings

摘要

Constitutional Protection of Human Rights in Latin America is an overview of the characteristics taken on in recent years by the leading resource for the constitutional protection of human rights in Latin America, the amparo, in which Allan Brewer-Carias maps out the mechanisms for rights protection from the perspective of comparative constitutional law. This approach enables him to describe the differences and similarities between various Latin American countries, as well as between Latin America, Europe and the United States.
