‘REGULATING’ FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS BY DECREES IN ORDINARY TIMES ACCORDING TO THE 1982 TURKISH CONSTITUTION
Abstract
The power to issue decrees was, for the first time, granted to the Council of
Ministers by article 64 of the Turkish Constitution of 1961. As the 1961 Constitution, the
1982 Constitution lays down provisions on the decrees in art. 91 (1) of the 1982
Constitution and the decrees, inter alia, are regarded regulative power of the executive
organ of the State. “Regulative scope” of the decrees is stated in article 91 of the 1982
Constitution. Accordingly, with the exceptions of martial law and states of emergency,
decrees cannot be issued to regulate the fundamental rights, individual rights and duties
included in the first and second chapters and the political rights and duties listed in the
fourth chapter of the second part of the Constitution. However, there are no restrictions with regard to social and economic rights and duties which are laid down in the third
chapter of the second part of the 1982 Constitution. This study deals with regulating of
fundamental rights and freedoms in the ordinary times. In this regard, limits of the decrees,
on fundamental rights and freedoms, are touched upon.
