Study on Democratization and Judicial System of Protection of Human Rights in Latin America

拉丁美洲的民主化进程始于20世纪世纪后期军事独裁政权垮台后，以安帕罗诉讼为代表的拉美司法制度逐渐发展成为南美洲许多国家宪法司法的重要组成部分。但是，由西班牙帝国统治的加勒比岛屿和太平洋岛屿在美西战争后于1898年割让给美国，它们以美国宪法为蓝本，发展了自己的法律的体系。美国试图根据其宪政思想对这些岛屿进行改革。就政府安排的重新定位而言，日本在第二次世界大战后的民主化和改革与这些岛屿有许多共同之处。

Democratization of Latin America was launched in the late 20th century after the collapse of military dictatorship, with the result that the amparo suit which is characteristic of Latin American judicial system developed itself into an integral part of constitutional justice in many countries of South America. But the Caribbean islands and the Pacific islands dominated by the Spanish Empire, and ceded to the United States in 1898 after the Spanish-American war, had developed their own legal systems modeled on American constitutional law. The Unites States tried to reform these islands according to its constitutional thoughts. In terms of reorientation of governmental arrangements, the democratization and reformation of Japan after the World War II have much in common with these islands.
