Özet:

The Human Rights and Equality Institution (TIHEK) was established to “protect and improve human rights on the basis of human dignity, ensure the right of individuals to be treated equally, prevent discrimination against the exercise of rights and freedoms which are determined by law and behave accordingly, combat torture and ill-treatment effectively and to fulfil its duty as a national preventive mechanism”. Legislation mandates TIHEK as a national preventive mechanism to eliminate torture as well as preventing discrimination. The article analyses the problems encountered regarding the legal remedy and the authority against the administrative sanctions (fines) given by the Human Rights and Equality Board of Turkey. Firstly, the relevant legislation related to the issue of TIHEK’s general duties and the administrative sanctions for violation of non-discrimination has explained. Subsequently, evaluations were made on administrative courts and civil law courts decisions on administrative sanctions (fines) taken by TIHEK against individuals.
