Union Organization Right of the Employees of Security General Directorate in Turkey in line with the similar decisions of European Court of Human Rights

The union organization of the security forces constitutes an exceptional issue in the world. In general, international contracts liberalize the countries in domestic law regimes. For the security personnel, all the service classes working in the security organization and all private security officers working in the public institutions should be taken under the scope of the union organizing prohibition by going out of the field which the international contracts have left to the domestic law regimes and they should not be harmful to the right of trade union organization which is one of the indispensable requirements of the democratic society order in Turkey. As a matter of fact, the Constitutional Court has canceled a part of the legal regulation in contradiction with the Constitution.
