Joint Statement by the ICJ and the Human Rights Joint Platform (IHOP).
The Joint Statement is calling attention to a variety of obstacles faced by those seeking access to justice for human rights violations in Turkey and includes 13 recommendations to the Turkish government to ensure the justice system can uphold human rights.
The Joint Statement is the fruit of three years of intensive work on access to justice for human rights violations in Turkey by the ICJ and IHOP, during which the two organizations had the opportunity to gather the views of a wide range of stakeholders, including civil society, judges, lawyers, prosecutors, government officers, international experts, international organizations, human rights defenders and victims of human rights violations. The conclusions by ICJ and IHOP are a reflection of these opinions.
