Acción judicial breve y sumaria, destinada a garantizar los derechos y libertades constitucionales distintos de la libertad física (pues ella está protegida por el habeas corpus), que tiene un ámbito distinto del de los procesos ordinarios, por cuanto estos - por su propia naturaleza - no pueden satisfacer la urgencia de la restauración de los derechos presuntamente conculcados, lo cual es un elemento esencial en el proceso de amparo. 3, record 6, Spanish, - amparo

El amparo aparece por primera vez en América Latina en la constitución mexicana de Yucatán de 1840 y luego es retomado en todo su vigor por la de 1917. Esta ley fundamental al igual que la de Brasil, bajo la denominación de mandato de segurança le dan gran fuerza a la institución. Es de destacar la ley orgánica de amparo de Venezuela de 1985, la que constituye un verdadero código en la materia. Pero, a nivel de nuestro continente la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos(Pacto de San José de Costa Rica) prevé la aplicación del amparo en su art. 24 a los países signatarios del mismo. Dicha disposición establece que toda persona tiene derecho a un recurso sencillo y rápido o a cualquier recurso efectivo ante los jueces o tribunales competentes que los ampare contra actos que violen sus derechos fundamentales reconocidos por la constitución, la ley o la presente Convención, aún cuando tal violación sea cometida por personas que actúen en ejercicio de sus funciones judiciales. 3, record 6, Spanish, - amparo
