Abstract:

Turkey enacted a new law titled as the “Law No. 6458 on Foreigners and International Protection” (“LFIP”) in 2013. Provisions of the LFIP regarding administrative structure and appointment of personnel came into force on the date of publication of the Law in the Official Gazette, namely on 11 April 2013. Other articles of the LFIP including articles on expulsion of foreigners have been in force since 11 April 2014. Articles 52 to 60 of the LFIP are devoted to expulsion of foreigners from Turkey. ILC’s draft articles on the expulsion of foreigners, whose drafting stage took over ten years, is the prominent instrument that reflect the current developments in international law. It is thought that it is useful to translate the draft articles on expulsion of foreigners into Turkish language in order to shed on light to the Turkish practice and to show that Articles 52 to 60 of the LFIP are providing better protection than the draft articles of ILC regarding human rights.
