The Panamanian reality presented in this research may be very similar to that of some Latin American countries, which do not have effective judicial protection of their social rights. From a critical perspective, we analyze the lack of effective judicial protection of social rights protected by the Panamanian constitution, and the constitutional resources available to the State to protect individual rights, in order to then support the importance of the implementation of constitutional actions such as amparo, to protect individual homogeneous or collective rights, such as social rights. It is necessary to define minimum and maximum standards applicable to social rights, without leaving the criteria for protection to the discretion of the executive and legislative powers.
It is necessary to make the scope of the Amparo action more flexible, through a jurisprudential construction, which collectively protects social rights in Panama.
