Human Rights Law - İnsan Hakları Hukuku - Ebru Karaman
This study is prepared to introduce the Turkish Human Rights Law. Human Rights Law course is given in English in some faculties of law, economics and administrative sciences. A university student in Turkey should learn his/her own rights and freedoms by comparing the articles of the Constitution of 1982 and the European Convention on Human Rights. Therefore, some details have been added in footnotes and selected bibliography of book and texts of international human rights are annexed to the book. The main purpose of this book is, completing the lack of sources about the general principles of Turkish Human Rights Law in English. On the other hand, I hope that the book will be useful for foreigner lawyers who are interested in Turkish Human Rights Law.
The book contains general principles and subjects of human rights and freedoms. Moreover, the most important development experienced with regards to human rights in the 20th Century, is the individual slowly becoming the subject of international law. After Second World War, idea of protecting human rights on international level has strengthened and constituted the beginning of the development of today. Thus, this book is emphasized the kinds of protection of human rights and freedoms in national and international law. Lastly, I am grateful to my sister Gokce Karaman, a law student who provided suggestions for the English version of manuscript and also I want to thank Erol Oz and On Iki Levha Publication for publishing this book.
