Abstract

Son yılların etik ve politik tartışmaları dahilinde ön plana çıkan kavramlarından
biri de kırılganlıktır. Kavramı hukuk ve insan hakları hukuku özelinde
değerlendirmek ise oldukça yeni bir teşebbüstür. Bu çalışma, kavramın hukuk ve
insan hakları hukuku ile ilişkisini ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Bunu yaparken,
kavram etrafında dönen mevcut tartışmalar esas alınarak, öncelikle kavramın
evrensel- ontolojik ve grup bazlı yaklaşımları tartışma konusu edinilecektir. Bu
ayrımın yarattığı farkı da dikkate alan genel bir bakışın ardından, kavramın
insan hakları hukuku literatüründe nasıl karşılık bulduğu konu edinilecektir. Son
olarak kavramın yargılamalar bakımından oynadığı rol, Avrupa İnsan Hakları
Mahkemesinden örneklerle somutlaştırılacak ve bu kullanımın etkinliğine dair
bir değerlendirme yapılacaktır.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPT OF VULNERABILITY THROUGH HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE VISIBILITY OF THE CONCEPT IN EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS CASE LAW

Abstract

A prominent concept in the recent ethical and political discussions is
vulnerability. Evaluation of the concept in relation to law and human rights however is a quite recent attempt. This study, aims to tackle the subject through
law and human rights. In doing this, in light of the current arguments
surrounding the concept, the universal-ontological and group based approaches
will be referred. Following the overall view by taking into account the
distinction made, how the concept finds place in the human rights law literature
will be discussed. Finally, the role of the concept in jurisdictions will be
demonstrated by referring to the case law of the European Court of Human
Rights and a brief assessment concerning the effectiveness of such appliance
will be presented.
