HERRERA GARCIA, Alfonso. The protection's scope of the new mexican amparo. Rev. Derecho Estado [online]. 2015, n.34, pp.153-181. ISSN 0122-9893.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01229893.n34.08.

On April 3, 2013 came into force a new Law of Amparo in Mexico. This article presents a first analytical approach to the reform of the protection's scope of this constitutional trial. This reform expanded that scope in order to consider human rights enshrined in international treaties to which Mexico is party. In this sense, firstly, a comparison is made between the old and the new scheme of the protection's scope. Secondly, I explore the major decisions of the Supreme Court of Justice that have given content to the new amparo (2011-2013), which have overruled its own interpretations given under the old system. Finally, I offer some concluding remarks about the future challenges in the reconfiguration of the protection's scope of the mexican amparo.

Palabras clave : Mexican amparo judgement; judicial protection of human rights; Supreme Court of Mexico; international human rights treaties.
