THE PROTECTION OF REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS AGAINST EXTRADITION UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW

Herkesin zulüm karşısında başka memleketlerden mülteci olarak kabulünü talep etme hakkı vardır. Bazen, nadiren de olsa, bazı suçlular sığınma mekanizmasını adaletten kaçmak için kullanmaktadır. Bazen de bazı ülkeler iade taleplerini mültecileri kötü muameleye maruz kalabilecekleri ülkelere göndermek için de kullanabilir. Her şeye rağmen, prensip olarak ülkeler uluslararası korumayı hak eden kişilere sığınma sağlamakla birlikte, suçluların bu mekanizma ile adaletten kaçmalarına da engel olmaktadır. Bu makalede, mültecilerin uluslararası hukuk çerçevesinde iadeye karşı korunması konusu ele alınacaktır. Bu çerçevede, öncelikle mülteci, iade edilememezlik prensibi ve iade kavramları incelenecek olup, devamla mülteci ile iade kavramları arasındaki ilişki tartışılacaktır.

Uluslararası Hukuk Çerçevesinde Mültecilerin ve Sığınmacıların İadeye Karşı Korunma Hakkı

Everyone has the right to seek asylum from persecution.1 However sometimes, albeit rare, some criminals use asylum to escape criminal justice, or some states use extradition requests to surrender refugees to countries where they might face persecution. Nevertheless, states provide asylum to those who deserve international protection, and also avoid abuse of asylum to escape from criminal justice. This article seeks to explore the protection of refugees against extradition under international law. This is done though examining the concepts of refuee, non-refoulement and extradition, and discussing the relationship between asylum and extradition.
