DEVAM EDEN TUTUKLULUKLARDA AYM KARARLARINI TANIMAMA PRATİĞİ VE ANAYASA MAHKEMESİNİN ETKİLİLİĞİ

Öz

Makale, Anayasa Mahkemesine (AYM) özellikle devam eden özgürlükten yoksun bırakmalara ilişkin yapılan bireysel başvurularda AYM’nin etkili bir hukuk yolu olma niteliğini tehdit eden bir meseleyi, kararlarının icra edilmemesi meselesini incelemektedir. Bu tehdit, Şerafettin Can Atalay ve yakın dönemde Tayfun Kahraman davalarında AYM’nin başvurucunun serbest bırakılmasına (Atalay kararı) ya da yeniden yargılamaya (Kahraman davası) ilişkin kararlarının Yargıtay ve alt mahkemeler tarafından açık bir şekilde reddedilmesiyle daha belirgin hâle gelmiştir. Makale, diğer devlet organları tarafından tolerans gösterilen bu yargısal pratiğin, İnsan Hakları Avrupa Mahkemesi önünde süregelen tutmalar yönünden AYM’yi etkisiz kılma koşullarını yarattığının savunulabileceğini tespit etmektedir. Ancak İHAM’ın AYM’yi etkisiz bulması için gerekli koşulların mevcut olması, böyle yapılması gerektiği anlamına gelmez. Makale, AYM’yi etkisiz bir yargı yeri olarak kabul ederek bu yola başvurulmasına gerek görmemenin devam eden tutmalar, Türkiye’de hukukun üstünlüğü ve İnsan Hakları Avrupa Sözleşmesi sisteminin bütünü için zararlı yönlerinin de var olduğunu savunmaktadır.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TURKISH CONSTITUTIONAL COURT AMIDST A PATTERN OF JUDICIAL DEFIANCE

Abstract

The article examines the crisis of non-enforcement threatening the effectiveness of the Turkish Constitutional Court (TCC), especially for ongoing detentions. This danger is highlighted by the high-profile Şerafettin Can Atalay and Tayfun Kahraman cases, where TCC decisions ordering the applicants' release (Atalay’s case) and reopening of the proceedings (Kahraman’s case) were openly defied by lower courts and the Court of Cassation. The article finds that this emerging practice of judicial defiance, which has received official tolerance from other state branches, has arguably created the conditions for the ECtHR to find the TCC ineffective as a domestic remedy for ongoing detentions. However, this article examines the profound judicial policy dilemma that such a finding presents, analyzing whether the clear legal justification is outweighed by potentially detrimental consequences for detainees, the rule of law in Turkey, and the Convention system itself.
