AN ASSESSMENT ON THE ROLE OF THE TURKISH OMBUDSMAN INSTITUTION AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS AND EQUALITY INSTITUTION OF TURKEY IN PROTECTING MIGRANTS IN DETENTION

Öz

This article focuses on different mechanisms and procedures of the Turkish Ombudsman Institution and the Human Rights and Equality Institution of Turkey to protect the fundamental rights of migrants detained pending removal in Turkey. In particular, the article examines the role of both institutions and the effectiveness of their complaint and reporting mechanisms in protecting migrants in detention. In the first section, immigration detention in Turkey and challenges that foreigners face in removal centres are reviewed to emphasize the significance of the complaint and reporting mechanisms of both Institution’s for the protection of detained migrants in Turkey. Whilst the second section examines the Ombudsman Institution and the effectiveness of its complaint’s mechanism in the context of immigration detention, the third section focuses on the HREIT and its reporting mechanism and assesses the effectiveness of its reports on removal centers and other places where foreigners are deprived of their liberty. The article concludes with a number of recommendations on how both Institution’s complaint and reporting mechanisms and their role in protecting migrants in detention can be improved.
