“Enemies of the State”: Custodial Arrests, Turkey and the European Convention on Human Rights, by Claudia Pina
With the argument that it is imperative to secure public order, the Turkish Parliament approved a bill declaring the state of emergency and the Council of Europe was informed that Turkey is partially suspending its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights ( ECHR ).
Not addressing political orientations or matters of public security, strictly from a legal perspective, the author discusses the situation of those under detention in these circumstances and their rights under international law.
