Writ of Amparo, will it work in the current Political status of the Philippines?
The Supreme Court of the Philippine had just authorized the use of Writ of Amparo in cases of those alleged politically abducted person or extrajudicially killed Filipinos as their last resort since the Writ of Habeas Corpus did not work.
well, as explained, writ of amparo authorizes the holder thereof to inspect the premises of the military camp or detention place of the alleged abductors, unlike habeas corpus where it merely seeks the release of a detainee when no information had not yet been filed in the court of law. Its far more broader that habeas corpus...
As to Philippine Law, actually, so may laws had been legislated to protect every citizen's right... the constitution also provided so may protective laws to shield citizens from abuses from those in authority.
It doesn't go far enough to protect victims. It pertains to what happens AFTER a person has been tortured or forced to disappear. The Philippines need to make laws that better protect against these crimes BEFORE they happen.
