The Latin American \"Amparo\" Proceeding","description":"\u003cp\u003e This book of Professor Allan R. Brewer-Car?s on \u003cem\u003eThe Civil Rights Injunction for the protection of Fundamental Rights. The Latin American Amparo Proceeding, \u003c\/em\u003eis the original version of the text he wrote for the Couse of Lectures he gave, as Adjunct Professor of Law, on a Seminar on \u003cem\u003eJudicial Protection of Fundamental Rights in Latin America: the Amparo Proceeding, \u003c\/em\u003eat the Columbia Law School in New York, University of Columbia, during the years 2006-2008. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Seminar was intended to examine the most recent trends in the constitutional and legal regulations in all Latin American countries regarding the \"amparo\" suit, action or recourse- including the old \u003cem\u003ehabeas corpus\u003c\/em\u003e writ and the new \u003cem\u003ehabeas data\u003c\/em\u003e actions or recourses. By means of a comparative constitutional law approach, also with reference to the United States civil rights injunctions, the author analyzed this Latin American institution departing from the regulation of the \"amparo\" guarantee established in Article 25 of the 1969 American Convention of Human Rights which entered into force in 1978 after being ratified by all Latin American States. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The amparo suit or proceeding is not only an effective judicial means for the restoration of the injured constitutional rights that has been harmed, similar to the reparative or restorative civil rights injunctions in the United States, but it is also the effective judicial means for the protection of such rights and guaranties when threatened to be violated or harmed. This latter amparo suit is then similar to the preventive civil rights injunctions in the United States; \"preventive\" in the sense of avoiding harm; which, in this case, \"seeks to prohibit some discrete act or series of acts from occurring in the future,\" and is designed \"to avoid future harm to a party by prohibiting or mandating certain behavior ay another party.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From that point of view, thus, in a constitutional comparative law approach, the Latin American amparo action or proceeding, is a judicial remedy similar to the civil rights injunctions (restorative or preventive) in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For this edition, the author has included, as a sort of Preface and specific update, his comments on the Amparo as an instrument of \u003cem\u003eIus Constitutionale Commune \u003c\/em\u003e(2017), referring in general to this injunction against any kind of violation affecting fundamental rights, in particular, when committed by public officials, which without doubts, is perhaps the most Latin American of all constitutional law institutions developed in the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allan Brewer-Carias\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9563929721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789563929720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ediciones Olejnik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Allan Brewer-Carias","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717736788223,"sku":"9789563929720","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef1930a8-0254-4278-91bc-c5cda5275c55.jpg?v=1705689288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-civil-rights-injunction-for-allan-brewer-carias-9789563929720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
