18 Mart 2016 Tarihli AB-Türkiye Zirvesi Bildirisinin Hukuki Niteliği

Türkiye ile Avrupa Birliği arasında yapılan geri kabul antlaşmasının üçüncü ülke vatandaşları ve vatansızlar açısından uygulanma tarihinin geriye çekilmesi için bazı adımlar atılmıştır. Bu adımlardan biri de 18 Mart 2016 tarihli toplantı sonucunda hazırlanan metindir. Bu metin “AB-Türkiye Anlaşması”, “AB-Türkiye Mülteci Anlaşması”, “AB-Türkiye Açıklaması”, “AB-Türkiye Mutabakat Zaptı” ve “AB-Türkiye Basın Açıklaması” başta olmak üzere muhtelif adlarla anılmaktadır. 18 Mart 2016 tarihli metnin içeriğinin yanı sıra hukuki niteliği ve özellikle bir milletlerarası antlaşma olup olmadığı da tartışılmaktadır. Çalışmamızda ABAD kararlarının yanı sıra atipik milletlerarası antlaşmalara ilişkin Milletlerarası Adalet Divanı kararları ve Viyana Antlaşmalar Hukuku Konvansiyonu uyarınca 18 Mart 2016 tarihli metnin hukuki niteliği irdelenecektir.

Legal Nature of the Statement of EU-Turkey Summit Dated 18 March 2016

Some steps have been taken to bring forward the implementation date of the readmission agreement between Turkey and the European Union for third country nationals and stateless persons. One of these steps is the text drafted at the end of the meeting of 18 March 2016. This text is referred to in various names, in particular the “EU-Turkey Agreement”, “EU-Turkey Refugee Deal”, “EU-Turkey Statement”, “EU-Turkey Memorandum of Understanding” and “EU-Turkey Press Release”. Not only the content of the text dated 18 March 2016 but also its legal nature as well as whether it can be qualified as an international treaty has also been under discussion. This study will evaluate the legal nature of the text dated 18 March 2016 in accordance with the decisions of the ECJ and the decisions of International Court of Justice concerning atypical international treaties as well as the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
