 Central American Court of Justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Central American Court of Justice (1907–1918, 1962 to date) is an international court established by five Central American states.
The earliest attempt was the Federal Republic of Central America, and the most recent such effort had taken place 11 years earlier, with the founding of the Republic of Central America.
Idle for nearly 30 years thereafter, the court changed shape in 1991 when Article 12 of the Protocol of Tegucigalpa created the Central American Integration System (Sistema de Integración Centroamericana, or SICA), and the union was joined by Panama (as a member state), and Belize (as an observer).

 Justice and Transparency from the Central American Perspective
The Justice Systems did not exercise, as it was logical to expect, a controlling role in the activity of the State nor did it dispense equitable or impartial Administration of Justice, nor was it accessible to all the citizens of the different countries.
Investing in justice is nothing more than making its strong an independent, more independent with every passing day, all the less subjected to the ups and downs of politics and the pretensions of the sectors who want to control it.
Only with justice that functions on the basis of principles, constitutional and legal norms, duly produced proofs, as well as justice that is transparent in its actions, will we be able to speak of authentic processes of transformation of our countries.

Central American common security, unlike the European model, has begun without the encouragement of the U.S., without the massive external nonmilitary aid, and without the external threat to impel institutionalization of regional defense.

Justice Brennan was the intellectual anchor of the Warren Court, the activist who merged an idealistic outlook with a rigorous respect for the Constitution.
That court believed that the tradeoff didn't work--that in designating Grand Central an official landmark, the city had so diminished the potential of Penn Central to profit from the structure that it amounted to a virtual taking of private property without compensation.
Justice Brennan did not attempt to evolve a simple formula for testing whether a community had been excessive, and therefore illegal, in its application of landmarks laws; it was not in his nature to apply simplistic tests.
