Öz

Turkey’s administrative steps against human trafficking started after 1997 were seriously accelerated by Justice and Development Party Government after 2002. The main reasons of this augmentation are the Government’s legal and administrative plans in terms of full membership of the European Union and increasing awareness of international community for the human trafficking crime. In this regard, Turkey has prepared national action plans and established task forces. Despite their lack of functionality at the beginning, these elements has played significant role for designed plans and established units by Law on Foreigners and International Protection. This study chronologically analysed the transformed elements of Turkey’s administrative approach to the problem of trafficking in human beings and these elements deficiencies. Within this context, this study covered some of the U.S. Department of States’ annual human trafficking reports and EU’s regular and progress reports related to Turkey in order to provide multi-dimensional perspective. In addition, to evaluate the further steps used by different sources, this sturdy examined some of the practices of European Court of Human Rights.

ADMİNİSTRATİVE ATTEMPTS OF TURKEY AGAİNST THE TRAFFİCKİNG İN HUMAN BEİNGS: A CHRONOLOGİCAL EVALUATİON

Öz

Türkiye’nin 1997’den sonra insan ticaretiyle ilgili olarak atmaya başladığı idari anlamdaki adımları özellikle 2002’de AK Parti Hükümetinin iktidara gelmesiyle ciddi manada ivme kazanmıştır. Bu ivmenin temel sebepleri başta hükümetin AB üyeliği bağlamındaki yasal ve idari dönüşüm planları ve daha sonrada uluslararası toplumun insan ticareti suçuna karşı geliştirmeye başladığı farkındalıktır. Bu doğrultuda, Türkiye ulusal eylem planları ve görev güçleri kurmuştur. Her nekadar başta işlevsellik kazanamasalarda bu kurulan öğeler Yabancılar ve Uluslararası Koruma Kanunu kapsamında günümüzde insan kaçakçılığına karşı kurulan ve tasarlanan birimlerin temellerini oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin insan kaçakçılığı suçuna karşı atmış olduğu idari adımları kronolojik olarak değerlendirilip akabinde bu adımların eksikliklerini analiz edilmiştie. Bu doğrultuda, çalışmaya çok yönlülük katabilmek için Birleşik Devletlerin yıllık insan kaçakçılığı raporları ve Avrupa Birliği’nin yıllık ilerleme raporlarından faydalanılmış olunup daha sonra atilan adımları daha ileriye taşıyan adımları değerlendirmek için Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi’nin çeşitli kararları incelenmiştir.
