Abstract

2011 yılının erken dönemlerinde başlayan Suriye’deki iç karışıklık, pek çok sayıda Suriye vatandaşının komşu ülkelere akınına neden olmuştur. 3 milyondan fazla Suriye vatandaşı yaklaşık son 6 yıl içinde Türkiye’ye gelmiştir. Türkiye, bu Suriye vatandaşlarına “geçici koruma” statüsü vermiştir. Bu Çalışma’da, Uluslararası Mülteci Hukukunda geçici koruma statüsü tartışılmıştır. Geçici koruma, sığınma arayanların kitlesel akınları gibi olağanüstü durumlar için geçici ve acil korumatedbiri olarak kabul edilmiştir. Ek olarak, Çalışma’da, Suriye’de deneyim edildiği gibi kitlesel akın durumlarında uluslararası toplumun sorumluluğu üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Söz konusu durumda, uluslararası toplumun işbirliği, mülteci yükünün ve sorumluluğunun paylaşılması soruları sorulmuştur. Bu Çalışma’da, uluslararası işbirliğinin ve mülteci yükünün paylaşılmasının eksikliği vurgulanmış, olayların insani boyutu gözardı edilmiştir.

TURKEY: THE HOST COUNTRY FOR SYRIAN CITIZENS AND THE QUESTION OF SHARING THE BURDEN

Abstract

Internal unrest in Syria which began in early 2011 caused large numbers of Syrian citizens to infl ux to neighbouring countries. More than 3 million Syrian citizens have come to Turkey approximately in the last six years. Turkey has given “temporary protection” status for these Syrian citizens. In this study, temporary protection status in international refugee law has discussed. Temporary protection accepted as temporary and emergency protection measure to the extraordinary circumstances of a mass infl ux of asylum seekers Additionaly, the study focuses on the responsibility of the international community in case of mass infl ux situations as experienced in Syria. The question which will be raised here is to what extend the international community cooperates, and shares the burdens and the responsibilities emerged in this situation. The inadequacy of international cooperation and burdensharing have been emphasized in this study, and the humanistic dimensions of the circumstances has been ignored.
