ÖZEL BİR ADLİ YARDIMLAŞMA TÜRÜ OLARAK ORTAK SORUŞTURMA EKİPLERİ OLUŞTURULMASI

Sınır aşan suçlara karşı ulusal ölçekli mücadele araçlarının yetersiz kalması, ulusla- rarası alanda yeni ve etkili arayışlara neden olmuştur. Bu konuda ortaya çıkan önemlikurumlardan biri de, özel bir adli yardımlaşma türü olan Ortak Soruşturma Ekiple- ridir. Düşünsel temelleri XX. Yüzyılın ikinci yarısına kadar uzanan Ortak SoruşturmaEkipleri, ilk defa Avrupa Birliği ve Avrupa Konseyi tarafından hazırlanan adli yardımlaş- ma anlaşmalarıyla hukukî varlık bulmuş ve Avrupa Birliği üyesi ülkeler arasında uygu- lanmaya başlanmıştır. Ortak Soruşturma Ekiplerinin, Türk Hukukunda henüz normatif bir dayanağı bu- lunmamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, yakın gelecekte özel bir adli yardımlaşma türü olarakHukukumuza girmesi kuvvetle muhtemeldir. Bu nedenle Çalışmamızın amacı, OrtakSoruşturma Ekiplerinin ortaya çıkışı ve hukukî temelleri yanında, sınır aşan suçlarlamücadelede ne şekilde kullanılabileceği ve bu yönde sağlayabileceği yararlar ile ne- den olabileceği sorunlar hakkında genel bir bilgi sunmaktır.

Establishing Joint Investigation Teams as a Type of Special Legal Assistance

As the means for fight against cross-border offences was insufficient in nationallevel, new and efficient means in international level have been searched. One of thesignificant institutions arising in this area is Joint Investigation Teams which is a spe- cial type of legal assistance. Joint Investigation Teams of which intellectual origins goback to second half of the XXth century obtained its existence with the legal assistan- ce agreements drawn up by European Union and Council of Europe and it has startedto be implemented among the Member States of European Union. Joint Investigation Teams do not have any normative basis in Turkish law yet. Inaddition, it is most likely that it will enter into our law in the near future as a specialtype of investigation and legal assistance. Thus the aim of our study is to provide ge- neral information on the emergence of the Joint Investigation Teams and their legalbasis, as well as how they can be used in the fight against cross border offences andtheir possible advantages and the problem they might cause.
