Birleşmiş Milletler’in Kıbrıs’taki Anayasal Çözüm Arayışları

This study is an assessment of the UN proposals for a constitution during the conflict resolution process in Cyprus. Utilizing the method of process analysis the main objective is to determine the different perspectives of the two parties – Greek and Turkish – in Cyprus. During the last 25 years there is no common government or a common constitution on Cyprus. Both communities have their own governments since 1963. Thus, the study of constitution and legal order are considerably complicated on this Island. Due to the fact that the laws are constituted in accordance with normative principles, moral values and ideals get involved in the discussions of a constitution for a desired federal state in Cyprus. Therefore it is essential that the constitutional law in Cyprus should find answers for these questions: “What should be the laws?” and “How should the laws be?” One of the most important parts of the bi-communal talks regarding the constitution until now was the mutual “doubt and mistrust” of Turkish and Greek Cypriots. Therefore, all the amendments thought to be made in the federal constitution in Cyprus should protect social rights and freedom as much as possible. This article comprises three main sections. In the first section federal constitution recommendations until 1992 are analyzed. The second section deals with the contents of the recommendations after 1992. Lastly, the attitudes of Turkish and Greek Cypriots towards the new Federal State constitution are assessed
