Protection of Refugees Under the European Convention on Human Rights: An Analysis of European Court of Human Rights Judgments Against Türkiye

Öz

Focusing on the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) jurisprudence involving Türkiye, this study investigates the legal protection afforded to asylum seekers and refugees under the European Convention on Human Rights. It specifically aims to unravel the interplay between the principle of non-refoulement, enshrined in Article 3, and the right to an effective remedy under Article 13, subsequently evaluating this nexus within the framework of Turkish administrative and judicial operations. Methodologically, the paper couples doctrinal legal analysis with a qualitative content examination of pertinent case law. Through a detailed analysis of landmark rulings—including Jabari (2000), Mamatkulov and Askarov (2005), Abdolkhani and Karimnia (2009), and J.A. and A.A. (2024)—the study offers a comparative assessment against judgements delivered against Greece, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Spain, and Lithuania. Three primary conclusions are drawn. First, non-refoulement operates not merely as a substantive ban but as a procedural mandate demanding an independent, rigorous, and ex nunc risk evaluation. Second, the efficacy of this principle hinges upon accessible remedies equipped with automatic suspensive effects under Article 13, reinforced by the detention and family life protections of Articles 5 and 8. Third, the systemic infractions identified in Türkiye exhibit a distinct, recurring structural trend—characterized by a lack of individualized assessments, remedies lacking suspensive effects, restricted access to case files, and arbitrary detention—thereby differentiating these breaches from the border pushback violations observed in other member states. Ultimately, this research contributes to the literature by conceptualizing non-refoulement as a dual substantive-procedural safeguard while addressing contemporary challenges emerging from the 2025 'Letter of the Nine' and the Chişinău Declaration of 15 May 2026.
