Bu makale, uluslararası hukuk (milletler hukuk) ile yerel (iç) hukuk arasındaki tamamlayıcılığı inceleyerek, bunların yönetişim ve insan haklarının korunmasındaki rollerini vurgulamaktadır. Uluslararası hukuk ile iç hukuk arasındaki etkileşimi ele alan pek çok araştırma yapılmış olsa da, bu iki sistem arasındaki tutarsızlıkların ulusal düzeyde insan hakları ve insan güvenliğini nasıl doğrudan etkilediği konusunda hala bir anlayış boşluğu bulunmaktadır. Yerel hukuk, ulusal yasal çerçeveleri küresel beklentilerle uyumlu hale getirmek için genellikle uluslararası standartlara dayanır; bu sinerji, çevre hukuku, ticaret düzenlemeleri ve insan hakları gibi alanlarda özellikle belirgindir. Ancak, uluslararası normların ulusal düzeyde uygulanması, genellikle yasal, kurumsal ve siyasi engellerle karşılaşmaktadır. Bu makale, uluslararası yükümlülükler ile ulusal hukuk ilkeleri arasındaki çelişkilerin nasıl sürtüşmelere ve uygulama boşluklarına yol açarak insan haklarının korunmasını zayıflattığını göstermektedir. Analiz, doktrinsel bir araştırma yöntemi kullanmakta ve çeşitli hukuk sistemlerinden örnekler vermektedir. Örneğin, iç hukukun bazen uluslararası insan hakları yükümlülükleriyle çeliştiği Amerika Birleşik Devletleri gibi ülkelerin karşılaştığı zorluklar ve uluslararası antlaşmaların ulusal mevzuata dahil edilmesinin insan haklarının daha etkili bir şekilde korunmasına yol açtığı Avrupa Birliği gibi. Sonuç olarak, makale, antlaşmaların mevzuata dahil edilmesi ve anayasal yetkiler gibi daha güçlü yasal önlemler yoluyla uluslararası ve yerel hukuk arasındaki boşluğu doldurmanın önemini vurgulamaktadır.

Bridging the Gaps Between International and Domestic Law: Strengthening Human Rights and Human Security Protections

Öz

The paper examines the complementarity between international law (the law of nations) and municipal (domestic) law, emphasizing their roles in governance and human rights protection. While much research has explored the interaction between international and domestic law, there remains a gap in understanding how inconsistencies between the two systems directly impact human rights and human security at the national level. Municipal laws often rely on international standards to align national legal frameworks with global expectations, a synergy particularly noticeable in areas such as environmental law, trade regulations, and human rights. However, domestic implementation of international norms is frequently impeded by legislative, institutional, and political barriers. The paper illustrates how conflicts between international obligations and domestic legal principles can create friction and enforcement gaps, undermining human rights protections. The analysis uses a doctrinal research method and draws on examples from various legal systems, such as the challenges faced by countries like the United States, where domestic law sometimes conflicts with international human rights obligations, and the European Union, where the incorporation of international treaties into national legislation has led to more effective protection of human rights. In conclusion, the paper stresses the importance of bridging the gap between international and municipal laws through stronger legislative measures, such as treaty incorporation and constitutional mandates.
