İNSAN HAKLARI BAKIMINDAN KIRILGAN KAVRAMINA BİR GİRİŞ VE KAVRAMIN AİHM KARARLARINDAKİ GÖRÜNÜRLÜĞÜ

Son yılların etik ve politik tartışmaları dahilinde ön plana çıkan kavramlarından biri de kırılganlıktır. Kavramı hukuk ve insan hakları hukuku özelinde değerlendirmek ise oldukça yeni bir teşebbüstür. Bu çalışma, kavramın hukuk ve insan hakları hukuku ile ilişkisini ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Bunu yaparken, kavram etrafında dönen mevcut tartışmalar esas alınarak, öncelikle kavramın evrensel- ontolojik ve grup bazlı yaklaşımları tartışma konusu edinilecektir. Bu ayrımın yarattığı farkı da dikkate alan genel bir bakışın ardından, kavramın insan hakları hukuku literatüründe nasıl karşılık bulduğu konu edinilecektir. Son olarak kavramın yargılamalar bakımından oynadığı rol, Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesinden örneklerle somutlaştırılacak ve bu kullanımın etkinliğine dair bir değerlendirme yapılacaktır.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPT OF VULNERABILITY THROUGH HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE VISIBILITY OF THE CONCEPT IN EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS CASE LAW

A prominent concept in the recent ethical and political discussions is vulnerability. Evaluation of the concept in relation to law and human rights however is a quite recent attempt. This study, aims to tackle the subject through law and human rights. In doing this, in light of the current arguments surrounding the concept, the universal-ontological and group based approaches will be referred. Following the overall view by taking into account the distinction made, how the concept finds place in the human rights law literature will be discussed. Finally, the role of the concept in jurisdictions will be demonstrated by referring to the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and a brief assessment concerning the effectiveness of such appliance will be presented.
