Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi ile Uyum Açısından Türkiye’de Hâkim Önüne Çıkarılma Hakkı

Abstract

International conventions affect the national laws of states and encourage them to make necessary regulations in line with international standards. Turkey, as a member of the Council of Europe, and as a State Party to, is obliged to make compliant its domestic law with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The right to be brought before a judge is guaranteed under the ECHR. This right is a guarantee against the arbitrary deprivation of liberty. The current study scrutinizes the regulations and practices regarding "the right to be brought before a judge" in Turkish law including the article 5 of the ECHR. After questioning whether Turkish municipal law complies with the ECHR, the study argues that the regulations regarding 'the right to be brought before a judge' and related practices in Turkey are substantially in line with the case law and thus with the ECHR.
