Turkey cannot be governed with Coup Constitution Any More!
Universal Declaration of Human Rights states a common ideal for all nations and all societies that compose human family. This ideal takes world peace, justice, freedom, dignity- that all members of human being have-and recognition equal rights of people as main principles. All human right documents that are formed by human mind like universal declaration of human rights are for creating facilities to realize this ideal. We are still too away from improving justice, equality and peace in all world at 58th anniversary of acceptance of Universal Declaration of Human Right. At the moment the states, which sign the UN human rights documents and come into responsible, reached to a point that ignores law and justice about international relations and relationship with their citizens. This is the first time that human being has witnessed such a situation (States’ ignorance of law-justice) in the history. The countries, which have economic and military power, flout international law and decisions about world future and UN bodies and they apply military force in many region of the world to shape these regions in accordance their benefits. The new Security understanding, which is seen especially after 11th September2001 attack to New York, blasted human rights and freedoms. In USA and all world interrogation of cultural diversity, human rights and civil society organisations were started around a ‘security’ paradigm. Dilemma of “Freedom/Security?” was imposed and all social-political demands are being repressed through arguments and practices of “prevention of terrorism”. We are testifying to production of theories about legitimacy of cruelty, which is a crime against humanity. Even in European countries, which are shown as source of human rights, there are important problems like xenophobia, ethnic and religious discrimination, and limitation rights of refugees.
In Turkey there is an important past for human rights, freedoms and democracy struggle. There is very important share of human right organizations in struggle of kindly society sections especially against to regimes of states of emergency, which were resulted from military coups, and their unlawful practices. Turkey has been governed by constitutions, which made by military coups, for almost sixty years. From 1999 to now many articles of 1982 constitutions were changed with 9 reform regulations. Although all these regulations the constitution is too far away to correspond to human rights and freedoms. 1982 constitution does not bear to rights and freedoms of citizens about relationship between state and citizens. It is obligatory that, democratization of Turkey, improving permanent social peace and preparing a new constitution that takes human rights under guarantee in cultural diversity, ethnic, religious structure of Turkey. In Turkey a democratic constitution must be prepared. This constitution should improve Kurdish problem and all problems; access to democratic and permanent solution. This constitution should accept social peace, rights and freedoms as main principles. This constitution must bear to rule of law and should recognize differences. All social sections should attend to preparation of the new constitution.
As human rights defenders; we will continue our attitude, which supports human rights and freedom and peace, in every time and under any circumstances.
