Interpretation of the Eur opean Convention on Hum an Rights within the conte xt of Individual Applications to the Constitutional Court

Abstract

Individual application to the Constitutional Court in Turkey was introduced on the bases of the lessons learned from the Country’s bitter experiences before the European Court of Human Rights. This fact is reflected even by the actual wording of the Constitution. Nevertheless, these “utilitarian” expectations from the importing of the institution into the Turkish legal system is so overemphasized and highlighted that the actual function of the institution, i.e., the effective protection of human rights, is somewhat shadowed. What is more, The Constitutional Court itself seems, at times, to have misinterpreted the reference to the European Convention of Human Rights made by the Constitution and therefore restricting the scope of several constitutional rights through a restrictive interpretation of the Convention. However, such understanding is a violation of both the Constitutional norms referring to the universal standards of human rights protection and the conflict rules of the Convention itself

Keywords

European Convention on Human Rights, right to a fair trial, grounds for restriction, restrictive interpretation, scope of constitutional rights.
