Abstract
With the end of the golden era experienced by international courts until September 11, 2001, quasior non-judicial review mechanisms have begun to take a central place in addressing issues arising from international legal norms. One of the most controversial of these entities is the Ombudsperson institution tasked with examining appeals against the listing decisions of the Da’esh and Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee. This article explores the process that led to the establishment of the Ombudsperson institution and the structural framework of the said institution. Firstly, the argument is presented that the transition from the Focal Point mechanism to the Ombudsperson institution represents significant progress in safeguarding the fundamental rights and freedoms of listed individuals and entities, taking into account the historical development of the relevant institution and the role of the European Court of Justice in this process. Subsequently, the independence and effectiveness of the Ombudsperson institution are examined to determine its place within the scope of the right to a fair trial.

Abstract
Uluslararası mahkemelerin 11 Eylül 2001’e kadar yaşamış oldukları altın dönemin sona ermesi ile birlikte, uluslararası hukuk normlarından kaynaklanan sorunların çözümü için yargı kurumu benzeri veya yargısal nitelikte olmayan merciler ön plana çıkmaya başlamıştır. Söze konu mercilerin en tartışmalılarından biri de DAEŞ ve Al-Kaide Yaptırım Komitesi’nin listeleme kararlarına karşı yapılan başvuruları incelemekle görevli Ombudsperson kurumudur. Bu makalede Ombudsperson kurumunun oluşumuna öncülük eden süreç ve mezkur kurumun yapısal çerçevesi incelenmektedir. İlk olarak, İrtibat Noktası uygulamasından Ombudsperson kurumuna geçişin listelenen gerçek ve tüzel kişilerin temel hak ve özgürlüklerinin korunması noktasında büyük bir ilerleme teşkil ettiği argümanı ilgili kurumun tarihsel gelişim süreci ve bahse konu süreçte Avrupa Birliği Adalet Divanı’nın rolü de gözetilerek ortaya konmuştur. Akabinde, Ombudsperson kurumunun adil yargılama hakkı kapsamındaki yerini tespit amacıyla bu kurumun bağımsızlığı ve etkinliği incelenmiştir.
