CAN HUMAN RIGHTS AND EQUALITY INSTITUTION OF TURKEY PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN COMBATING DISCRIMINATION?
Abstract
Purpose – This study investigates whether the Law No. 6701 on Human Rights and
Equality Institution of Turkey (HREIT) will be effective in the struggle
against discrimination in Turkey.
Methodology
- This study critically evaluates the articles of the law from the perspective of
human rights law.
Findings- This study determines that that the law considers only a limited number of issues
as the basis for discrimination and in case of discrimination other than this
limited number of underlying issues, one cannot apply to the Institution.
Furthermore, the conditions to apply to the institution are challenging.
Conclusion- This study clarifies that when the current legal framework is taken into consideration, it
unfortunately does not seem possible for HREIT to play an active role when
combating discrimination.
