Course Objectives
Course Content
This course aims to provide an overview of the protection mechanisms of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR/Convention) system and is designated to give students a sufficient knowledge about the procedure before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR/Court). The course will focus on ECHR as an international treaty that is signed and ratified by Turkey and the protection mechanisms and the procedural law aspects including but not limited to application procedures, admissibility, hearings and impact of the ECtHR decisions from Turkish Law point of view. The lecturer, based on her earlier experience (as legal expert involved in cases before the ECtHR at the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs) will intend to lead the students to explore and understand the implications of the judgments of the Court from national law point of view. İn view of its importance, a further part of the course will address the envisaged EU accession to the ECHR and recent developments thereof.
