Çocuk Hakları Komitesi Kararlarında Sınır Dışı Prosedürüne Tabi Çocuğun Yüksek Yararı: Usulî Güvenceler

Birleşmiş Milletler Çocuk Hakları Sözleşmesi’nin kapsamlı ve özgün bir ilkesi olan ve ulusal ve uluslararası mahkemeler tarafından sıklıkla atıfta bulunulan 'çocuğun yüksek yararı' ilkesi tüm çocuklara koruma sağlamakla birlikte sınırdışı prosedürüne tabi tutulan çocuklara “yüksek” bir koruma sağlamaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, özellikle sınırdışı prosedürüne tabi tutulan göçmen, mülteci ya da sığınmacı çocukların söz konusu olduğu başvurularda çocuğun yüksek yararı ilkesinin içeriğini ve Birleşmiş Milletler Çocuk Hakları Komitesi’nin bu ilkeyi hangi standartlarla ve nasıl uygulandığını göstermektir. Bu amaçla önce teorik çerçevede sını dışı prosedürlerine dahil olan çocuklar için yüksek yarar ilkesinin çocuğun hakları bağlamında gerçekleşmesini sağlayan maddi ve usulî standartlar daha sonra usulî standartların yargı kararlarında nasıl ele alındığı incelenmiştir.
