The Turkish Legal System and the Principle of Non-Refoulement of Refugees in the Light of International Law

The Turkish Legal System and the Principle of Non-Refoulement of Refugees in the Light of International Law Kısa Özet

Turkey is one of the most effected country from ref­ugees mass influxes due to its own idiosyncratic geo­graphical position between emigrate states to immigrate states. This book aims to assess to review the prin­ciple of non-refoulement under the Turkish legal systems and practices in the light of international law. The deficiencies in domestic Turkish legal framework though the regulations and existing legal gap in respect of the principle of non-refoulement have brought new chal­lenges for Turkey’s compatibility under international le­gal standards. This book is briefly based on Critical Legal Approach for understanding the con­tradictions between Turkey’s and international asylum policies, particularly EU. This book therefore attempts to suggest potential measures how Turkey can improve the compatibility with international treaties.
