ECtHR and Türkiye
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) plays a crucial role in safeguarding fundamental rights in Türkiye by providing individuals with a legal avenue to challenge violations when domestic remedies fail. As a member of the Council of Europe and a party to the European Convention on Human Rights, Türkiye is bound by the Court’s judgments, which have addressed a wide range of issues including freedom of expression, fair trial rights, and protection from torture.
The ECtHR remains a key instrument for upholding the rule of law and human rights in Türkiye, particularly in the aftermath of the 2016 state of emergency.
