Turkey: Human Rights

Turkish courts consistently reject compensation claims filed by children born with disabilities like Down syndrome against physicians, ruling that such claims constitute an impermissible "right not to exist" or "retroactive euthanasia." While the right to life remains absolute and inalienable under Turkish constitutional law, parents may still pursue damages when physicians fail their duty to inform during pregnancy.

The European Court of Human Rights has developed a robust framework protecting arbitral awards as property rights under Protocol No. 1, Article 1 of the ECHR.

The Turkish Constitutional Court ruled on a case where a successful litigant was denied attorney's fees and required to bear litigation expenses despite winning an objection to an enforcement order. The decision examines whether such a ruling violates the constitutional right of access to a court and establishes important principles regarding the allocation of litigation costs in Turkish civil procedure.

For years, the jurisprudence of the Turkish Court of Cassation on excess damages (excess damages) — compensatory loss exceeding statutory default interest — followed a rigid line: mere inflation or depreciation of currency could not, in itself, justify such a claim.
