Abstract

A constitutional reform in 2011 and a legal reform enacted on April 3, 2013, have modified the regulation of the Mexican constitutional remedy of amparo. This article analyses the historical development of such remedy in Mexico and, based on a description of the main innovations introduced by the reform, identifies the main advancements and setbacks of the new regulation. Taking into account international standards on effective appeal developed in the Inter American System, it concludes that the new constitutional remedy of amparo does not satisfy the constitutional threshold, and that its effectiveness will depend on how far practitioners will be able to renew, by interpretative means, a normative ruling that keeps strong elements of continuity with the past.
