Cette construction jurisprudentielle permet la mise en jeu de la responsabilité de l’État lorsque celui-ci ne prend pas les mesures nécessaires pour prévenir et réprimer les violations de la Convention commises par les personnes privées. La reconnaissance de l’effet horizontal par le juge européen a pour conséquence la prolifération des obligations de l’État. La transposition de celles-ci dans l’ordre juridique interne astreint les autorités publiques à intervenir dans les rapports privés. Nécessaire à l’effectivité des droits de l’homme, la diffusion de l’effet horizontal a pour contrepartie l’accroissement de l’intervention étatique dans la sphère privée. Le défi est dès lors de délimiter l’extension des droits de l’homme aux relations interindividuelles afin que celle-ci ne devienne pas un facteur d’affaiblissement de la protection verticale des droits de l’homme. Cet ouvrage aborde un aspect controversé du débat actuel entourant la protection des droits de l’homme. Il s’adresse aux chercheurs, aux avocats ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui souhaitent approfondir leurs connaissances sur la Convention EDH.

The horizontal effect involves the application of the ECHR in interindividual relationships. Justified by the theory of positive obligations, this jurisprudential construction allows to establish the international responsibility of the State when it fails to take necessary measures to prevent and suppress violations of the Convention committed by private persons. Recognition of the horizontal effect by the European judge results in the proliferation of substantive and procedural obligations of the State. Transposing them into domestic law compels public authorities, including courts, to interfere in private relations. Necessary for the effectiveness of human rights, the diffusion of the horizontal effect generates, in return, an extension of State intervention in the private sphere and the emergence of individual duties based on the respect of the rights and freedoms of others. The European Court of Human Rights, pioneer of the «horizontalization», refuses to develop a general theory. The challenge is therefore to delimit the extension of human rights to relations between individuals so that it does not become a factor of weakening of the vertical protection of human rights.

Bu yolla iktidarın kişiselleşmesinin engellenmesi, erkler ayrılığının güvence altına alınması, adil bir siyasi mücadele alanı oluşturulması ve dinamik bir yönetimin sağlanması hedeflenmektedir. Bununla birlikte, bilhassa 2000'li yıllardan itibaren, dünyanın birçok ülkesinde iktidardaki devlet başkanlarının bu sınırlamaları esnetmek hatta tamamen kaldırmak için yeni anayasa yapımı veya anayasa değişikliği gibi yöntemlere başvurdukları görülmektedir. Kimi zaman anayasa mahkemelerinin de destek verdiği bu girişimler görüntüde demokratik ancak özde otoriter karakterde rejimlere kapı aralamaktadır. Öte yandan, anayasal düzeni bu tür müdahalelere karşı korumak için öngörülmüş veya kurgulanmış mekanizmalar çoğu kez etkisiz kalmaktadır. (...)

Karar, resmî bir görev kapsamında hazırladıkları Azınlık Hakları Raporu nedeniyle sert tepki ve eleştirilere maruz kalan başvurucuların çeşitli yayın organlarına ve gazete yazarlarına karşı aç-tıkları tazminat davalarının reddedilmesini konu almaktadır. Mahkeme, başvurucuları hedef alan gazete yazılarının bir kısmını nefret söylemi ve şiddet çağrısı şeklinde nitelendirmiş ve ulusal mahkeme kararlarının başvurucuların itibarını korumada yetersiz kaldığına kanaat getirmiştir. Bununla birlikte, AİHM, her ikisi de insan hakları alanında uzmanlaşmış akademisyen olan başvurucuların ifade özgürlüğünün ihlal edildiği yö-nündeki iddialarını incelemeye gerek görmemiştir. Bu çalışmada, Mah-kemenin benimsediği bu yaklaşımın somut vakada geçerli olmaması ge-rektiği savunulmakta ve bu görüş Mahkemenin kendi içtihadı ile destek-lenmeye çalışılmaktadır.

The general attitude of those in political power to the movement and the manner in which the police have handled the demonstrations have revealed serious problems concerning the approach to democracy and human rights in Turkey. This study is an evaluation of the Gezi Park events from the perspective of pluralist and participatory democracy and human rights law. To this end, omissions, acts and statements of the public authorities are discussed in the context of Turkey’s Constitution, European Convention on Human Rights and the principles of democratic society.

Freedom to wear religious symbols or clothing, which is an important component of the freedom of ... more Freedom to wear religious symbols or clothing, which is an important component of the freedom of religion and conscience, continues to be one of the permanent topics of the European human rights agenda. The discussions which were initially centered around the Islamic headscarf have, in recent years, included other religious symbols like kippah, cross and Sikh turban and finally expanded to the ban on the burqa and the face veil in public space. The European Court of Human Rights who didn’t consider, in a significant number of the cases, the restrictions on wearing religious symbols -especially in Turkey and France- as a violation of freedom of religion and leaved a wide margin of appreciation to the states in this regard, has been the target of criticism. However the United Nations Human Rights Committee has adopted a different approach and found a violation of the said freedom concerning similar and sometimes identical individual applications. This study aims to reveal the difference between the Court’s and Commitee’s approaches by analysing relevant case law and tries to find an answer to the question of how the state obligations arising from human rights treaties should be interpreted faced with this situation.

This study aims to provide a critical approach to the judgements of the Constitutional Court on the surname cases rendered between 2011- 2013. Altough the Constitutional Court has renewed with the 2010 referendum, it still follows its traditional case law in which the unity and integrity of the Nation and the family overrides the individual rights. By adopting such an attitude, which represents a clear break from the international human rights law, the Hihg Court has deformed the notions such as the margin of appreciation and the principle of equality and created a noticeable discrepancy between its decisions. Therefore, the Court’ s case law regarding the surname can be described as “alarming”. Altough a recent decision, which was rendered on Decembre 19 on an individual application, marks a considerable change, the Court’s general approach is open to criticism in many respects.

Sözleşme'nin yargısal denetim organı olan Amerikalılar-arası Mahkeme, kararları ve tavsiye görüşleriyle, ifade özgürlüğünün kapsamını geniş, bu özgürlüğe getirilebilecek sınırlamaları dar yorumlamıştır. Kısa zamanda zengin ve tutarlı bir içtihat oluşturan Mahkeme, ifade özgürlüğünü yalnızca bireysel değil, aynı zamanda kendisine önemli misyonlar yüklenen sosyal ve kültürel bir hak olarak ele almıştır. Özellikle, bilgi edinme hakkına ilişkin Mahkeme kararları, ifade özgürlüğünü, şeffaf ve katılımcı bir demokrasinin hayata geçirilmesinde vazgeçilmez bir araç olarak ortaya koymuştur. Birçok açıdan Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi içtihadına paralel kararlar üreten Amerikalılar-arası Mahkeme, Avrupa sisteminin sağladığı güvenceleri asgari bir standart olarak görmekte ve ifade özgürlüğünün korunmasında daha ileri bir noktaya ulaşmayı hedefl emektedir. ABSTRACT Compared with other basic instruments relating to human rights, the American Convention on Human Rights treats the freedom of expression quite in detail. The Inter-American Court, body of judicial control provided by the Convention, has interpreted, through its judgments and advisory opinions, the scope of the freedom of expression broadly, the restrictions that can be applied to this freedom strictly. Forming a rich and consistent case-law in a short time, the Court has considered the freedom of expression not only as an individual right but also a social and cultural right assuming important missions. Especially, Court judgments regarding the right to access to information have recognized the freedom of expression as an indispensable

Bununla birlikte, klasik bir mülkiyet ilişkisine dayanmayan, ancak insan onuru ve insan hakları üzerinde meydana getirdiği tahribat bakımından geleneksel kölelikten pek de farklı olmayan " yeni " kölelik biçimleri gün yüzüne çıkmıştır. İnsan hakları hukukunun kölelik, kulluk ve zorla çalıştırma yasakları kapsamında ilgilendiği modern kölelik, uluslararası ve bölgesel düzeyde çok sayıda düzenlemeye ve yargı kararına konu olmuştur. Avrupa Konseyi'nin modern köleliğe ilişkin çalışmaları insan ticareti ve ev köleliği alanlarında yoğunlaşmıştır. Bu uygulamaları içeren dört vaka Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi tarafından incelenmiş ve neticede modern köleliğe ilişkin kapsamlı bir içtihat oluşmuştur. Bu çalışma, modern köleliğin Avrupa Konseyi Hukuku ekseninde ele alınarak irdelenmesine ve devletlerin modern kölelikle mücadelede üstlendikleri yükümlülüklerin ortaya konmasına katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Abstract Today, the traditional institution of slavery, according to which a human being is legally reduced to a thing, has been disappeared. However, " new " slavery forms, which, not being based on a classical property relationship, is nevertheless not much different from the traditional slavery in terms of damage caused to the human dignity and human rights, has been emerged. Modern slavery, which falls into the scope of the human rights in its relationship with the prohibition of slavery, servitude and forced labour, has been subject to many regulations and judgments at the international and regional level. The Council of Europe's effort on the modern slavery concentrates on the area of human trafficking and domestic slavery. Four cases, including these practices, have been examined by the European Court of Human Rights, and consequently, a comprehensive case law relating to the modern slavery has been formed. This study aims to contribute to the analysis of modern slavery by focusing on the Law of the Council of Europe and the identification of the obligations undertaken by the States in the combat against modern slavery.

Renouvelée à la suite du référendum de 2010, la Cour constitutionnelle suit cependant sa jurisprudence traditionnelle en sacralisant la nation et la famille au risque d’étouffer des droits individuels. Cette attitude qui marque un éloignement net du droit international des droits de l’homme ne peut être prise qu’en déformant un certain nombre de concepts et principes, tels que la marge d’appréciation et le principe de l’égalité, et en provoquant une incohérence visible dans la démarche suivie. Il est dès lors permis de qualifier l’œuvre de la Cour constitutionnelle en la matière de “préoccupante”, d’autant plus qu’elle est censée, après l’instauration de la voie de recours individuel, s’aligner sur la jurisprudence de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme. Si un arrêt récent de la Cour constitutionnelle, rendu en décembre 2013 suite à un recours individuel, témoigne d’une certaine avancée, l’essentiel de la jurisprudence constitutionnelle demeure cependant fort contestable au regard des standards européens.
