Amparo Appeal

Amparo Appeal

When a criminal proceeding has violated a fundamental right, the Amparo appeal before the Constitutional Court is the last internal instance — and the gateway that must be crossed before appealing to Strasbourg.

What it protects and what it requires

The Amparo appeal protects fundamental rights, notably effective judicial protection and due process guarantees (Art. 24 of the Constitution). Its admission requires, in addition to the violation, justification of the special constitutional significance of the matter, a strict filter that rejects the majority of appeals.

How we act

We identify the violation with constitutional relevance, substantiate its special significance according to the Court’s doctrine, and prepare the appeal with the rigor its admission demands, leaving it ready for Strasbourg if it does not succeed.
