AİHM gelen başvurulara yönelik çeşitli raporlar yayımlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, AİHS ve Yaşlılar (Older people and the European Convention on Human Rights, 2023) raporu incelenmektedir. Yaşlıların başvuruları özelinde bir doküman hazırlanması yaşlıların uğradıkları hak ihlallerine, ihlaller karşısındaki dezavantajlı konumlarına ve kırılganlıklarına dair artan dikkate işaret etmektedir. Raporun analiz sürecinde MAXQDA 2024 yazılımı kullanılarak içerik analizi yaklaşımı benimsenmiştir. Raporda tespit edilen hak ihlallerinin başlıcaları 6 karar ile özel ve aile hayatına saygı hakkı (madde 8), 5 karar ile adil yargılanma hakkı (madde 6) ve 3 karar ile işkence yasağıdır (madde 3). Yaşlıların AİHM’e başvuruları, maruz kaldıkları hak ihlallerinin yanı sıra yaşlanma deneyimlerinin şekillenmesinde yasal düzenlemelerin etkisini açığa çıkarmaktadır. Başvurucuların şikâyetlerinde serimlenen yaşlanma deneyimleri; emeklilikle beraber yoksullaşma, yaşlılıkta mekânsal koşullar ve yaşlı bireyin gözetilmesi ile bağımsızlığının korunması arasındaki denge etrafında yoğunlaşmaktadır. Mahkemenin yaklaşımında, yaşlılığın dikkate alındığı ancak küresel yaşlanma olgusunun insan hakları düzenlemelerine yeterince yansımadığı anlaşılmaktadır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) is an international judicial body that monitors the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) with the aim of protecting individuals’ fundamental rights and freedoms, and whose jurisdiction is accepted by the member states of the Council of Europe. The ECHR publishes various reports on the applications it receives. This study examines the ECHR and Older People report (Older people and the European Convention on Human Rights, 2023). The preparation of a document specifically on applications from older people points to the increasing attention being paid to the rights violations suffered by older people, their disadvantaged position in the face of violations, and their vulnerability. The content analysis approach was adopted using MAXQDA 2024 software in the analysis process of the report. The main rights violations identified in the report are the right to respect for private and family life (Article 8) with 6 decisions, the right to a fair trial (Article 6) with 5 decisions, and the prohibition of torture (Article 3) with 3 decisions. The applications of elderly people to the ECtHR reveal the impact of legal regulations on shaping their experiences of aging, in addition to the rights violations they have suffered. The experiences of aging described in the applicants’ complaints focus on impoverishment with retirement, spatial conditions in old age, and the balance between caring for the elderly and protecting their independence. The Court’s approach shows that while aging is taken into account, the global phenomenon of aging is not sufficiently reflected in human rights regulations.</p></trans-abstract>
