Abstract

States of emergency are often declared due to underlying problems of minority group accommodation, and the extraordinary limitation of rights arising from them tends to have a particularly striking effect on such groups. This was true, for instance, with the emergency measures adopted by the British authorities in the context of the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland. The same appears true in respect of the Turkish state of emergency in the aftermath of the failed military coup of 15 July 2016 vis-a-vis the position of Turkey’s Kurds. In spite of the fact that the declaration of the state of emergency constituted a response to an attempted coup which was, allegedly, orchestrated by the Gulen Movement, it is clear that the resulting derogating measures have also targeted ‘other individuals and organizations’, mainly those allegedly connected to the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party), and thus extended to Turkey’s Kurdish periphery. This chapter seeks to map the impact of the Turkish post-coup derogation measures on Turkey’s Kurds and to test them against the non-discrimination principle, minority rights, and the right of self-determination.
不歧视、少数民族权利和自决:土耳其政变后的紧急状态和土耳其库尔德人的立场
宣布紧急状态往往是由于少数群体住宿方面的根本问题,而紧急状态对权利的特别限制往往对这些群体产生特别显著的影响。例如,英国当局在北爱尔兰"麻烦"的情况下采取的紧急措施就是如此。2016年7月15日军事政变失败后,土耳其对土耳其库尔德人的立场实行紧急状态,情况似乎也是如此。尽管宣布紧急状态是对据称由居伦运动策划的未遂政变的回应,但显然,由此产生的减损措施也针对"其他个人和组织",主要是据称与库尔德工人党(库尔德工人党)有关的个人和组织,从而扩大到土耳其的库尔德外围地区。本章旨在描绘土耳其政变后的克减措施对土耳其库尔德人的影响,并检验这些措施与不歧视原则、少数民族权利和自决权的关系。
