INJUNCTION

An injunction is an equitable remedy in the form of a court order that requires a party to do or refrain from doing certain acts. A party that fails to comply with an injunction faces criminal or civil penalties and may have to pay damages or accept sanctions. In some cases, breaches of injunctions are considered serious criminal offenses that merit arrest and possible prison sentences.

Another definition: A court decision commanding or preventing a specific act, such as an order that an abusive spouse stay away from the other spouse or that a logging company not cut down first-growth trees. Courts grant injunctions to prevent harm--often irreparable harm--as distinguished from most court decisions, which are designed to provide a remedy for harm that has already occurred. Injunctions can be temporary, pending a consideration of the issue later at trial (these are called interlocutory decrees or preliminary injunctions). Judges can also issue permanent injunctions at the end of trials.

APPEAL FOR PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ( RECURSO DE AMPARO)

Appealing for protection of human rights means appealing to the constitutional court or tribunal to ensure your human rights when they have been damaged or ignored . Everyone has certain human rights which need to be granted. If those are not respected or altered by someone, it does not matter if it is a single person, a public or private institution , each individual is in their right to call for the constitutional court in order to have their human rights enforced and taken into account. (IN SPAIN IT IS REGULATED BY arts. 53.2 AND 161.1.b)

For example, if you are a woman working as a secretary under a contract which is unequal to the contracts male secretaries have, you have the right to call for the constitutional court, because article 23 of the declaration of human rights states that "Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work."
