    A debate over return migration: the case of Turkish guest workers in Germany
    (Springer, 2016) N/A; Department of International Relations; N/A; Department of International Relations; İçduygu, Ahmet; Sert, Deniz; Faculty Member; Teaching Faculty; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A; 207882; 25879
    This chapter aims to provide an overview of the return migration of Turkish guest workers and their family members. While doing so, it also elaborates on the theoretical and conceptual discussions of the notion of return migration, and it discusses the empirical question of how return migration has evolved over time in the case of the guest-worker scheme between Turkey and Germany. There are several reasons that make it worthwhile to elaborate the case of Turkish guest workers in Europe in general (and in Germany in particular) in the context of the whole notion of return migration. First, it is a migratory system that has evolved from temporary migration to permanent settlement over the last five decades. Second, while this transformation has taken place, some migrants have returned home, but others have stayed abroad. Third, as this covers a period since the early 1960s, different generations are involved, including first-generation labor migrants as well as their Europe-born children, and even grandchildren. Finally, as this migration from Turkey includes various types of movements such as labor migration, family reunion, asylum seeking, and clandestine flows, return migration to Turkey also consequently consists of various types of returnees.

    A study of liabilities of multimodal transport operators in China
    (Elsevier, 2012) Zhu, Ling; Yan, Hong; N/A; Özbek, Meltem Deniz Güner; Faculty Member; Law School; N/A
    This article studies the liabilities of a multimodal transport operator under Chinese law. The present legal framework governing the multimodal transport consists of a complex array of laws and regulations. As a consequence, the applicable liability rules, the degree and the extent of the liability of a multimodal transport operator may vary from case to case. In addition, the ratification of the Rotterdam Rules would only contribute to clarification of legal complexities in a multimodal transport case where a sea leg is included. We conclude that there is a need to have a Chinese multimodal transport law which is broad enough in scope to govern the rights and liabilities of all parties involved in multimodal carriage in China.

    Allocation of child's custody after divorce as the junction point of gender equality and the child's best interest
    (İstanbul Üniversitesi Yayınevi, 2021) N/A; Çelebi, Özgün; Faculty Member; Law School; 261801
    Allocation of a child's custody after divorce relies upon the universal principle of the child's best interest. Nevertheless, it is argued that despite its seemingly gender-neutral nature, one of the shortcomings caused by the uncertainty of such a principle is that it paves the way for gender discrimination. As a result, the topic of child custody has increasingly been mentioned in the framework of equality between men and women, as shown by references made to the relationship between custody law and gender equality both in international instruments relating to women's rights and in those relating to children's rights. In this paper we analyze the relationship between different interpretation methods of the seemingly gender-neutral principle of the child's best interest and gender equality in the context of allocation of custody after divorce. We go through the tender years, primary caretaker and joint custody concepts, which are the methods used or proposed to be used to concretize the principle of the child's best interest in different law systems and in Turkish law and contemplate whether they enable to achieve the goal of gender equality. On the grounds of these findings we discuss whether it is possible to achieve a child custody law which can reconcile the principle of the child's best interest with gender equality. / Boşanma sonrasında çocuğun velayetinin kimin tarafından icra edileceği sorunu evrensel bir ilke olan çocuğun üstün yararı ilkesi çerçevesinde çözümlenmektedir. Ancak her ne kadar görünürde cinsiyetsiz bir ilke olsa da, kavramın belirsizliğinin yarattığı sakıncalardan birinin, anne ile baba arasında cinsiyete dayalı ayrımcı çözümlere kapı açması olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle velayet konusu, gittikçe artan biçimde kadın-erkek eşitliği ile ilişkisi çerçevesinde gündeme gelmekte, velayet hukuku ile cinsiyet eşitliği arasındaki ilişki hem kadın haklarına hem de çocuk haklarına ilişkin uluslararası belgelerde karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, boşanma sonrası velayetin düzenlenmesi sorunu bağlamında, cinsiyetsiz bir kural gibi görünen çocuğun üstün yararı ilkesinin yorumlanma biçimlerinin cinsiyet eşitliği ile ilişkileri incelenecektir. Bu çerçevede, çocuğun üstün yararı ilkesini somutlaştırmak için farklı hukuk sistemlerinde ve ülkemizde uygulanan veya uygulanması önerilen anne şefkatine muhtaç olma ölçütü, birincil bakıcı ölçütü ve ortak velayet çözümünün cinsiyet eşitliği amacını gerçekleştirmeye yakın olup olmadıkları irdelenecektir. Elde edilen bulgular çerçevesinde çocuğun üstün yararı ilkesi ile cinsiyet eşitliği hedeflerini bağdaştırabilecek bir velayet hukukunun mümkün olup olmadığı tartışılacaktır.

    An illegal territorial regime? On the occupation and annexation of Crimea as a matter of international law
    (T.M.C. Asser Press, 2018) N/A; Azarova, Valentina; Researcher; Center for Global Public Law (CGPL) / Küresel Kamu Hukuku Çalışmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (KÜREMER); N/A; N/A
    What happens to the international law of occupation when the de facto administrator not only subjectively rejects its applicability, but maintains the occupation with the intention to acquire or transform territory?What effects does it have on the de facto administrator's status? And what implications on the welfare of the civilian population? Is it appropriate for international law to regulate such situations as belligerent occupations? Russia's occupation of Crimea exemplifies the regulatory challenges created by contemporary situations of occupation qua annexation, which this chapter argues are a form of illegal territorial regime. To address them, the chapter explores the place of occupation law and its mutually-reliant relationship between the international norms of conflict management (jus in bello), which includes occupation law, and those of conflict prevention and resolution (jus ad bellum). It argues that such illegal situations are incommensurable with the legal category of belligerent occupation in international law: they necessitate the diligent application of the jus ad bellum to appropriately regulate occupying states seeking territorial aggrandisement and foreign domination. The operation of the consequence of invalidity in such cases means that third party States and international organisations are made to undertake the enforcement and protection of the civilian population under the aegis of the foreign power.

    Approaching custom identification as a conflict avoidance technique: Tadic and Kupreskic revisited
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2018) N/A; N/A; Galand, Alexandre Skander; Researcher; Law School; N/A
    International human rights law (IHRL), international humanitarian law (IHL) and international criminal law (ICL) have trouble staying faithful to the two pillars of customary international law - state practice and opinio juris. In ICL, the Tadic Interlocutory Appeal on Jurisdiction and the Kupreskic Trial Judgement have even gone as far as enunciating new models to identify customs. In this article, I show that the approaches to customs' identification postulated in these two cases were conflict-avoidance techniques used by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to bring together IHRL and IHL. The crux of the matter in the Tadic and Kupreskic cases was that the human rights of the victims of war crimes committed in internal conflicts required that a new approach to customary international law be adopted. Thus, the criminal aspect of IHL (i.e., ICL) was updated, and conceptual conflicts between IHL and IHRL were avoided.

    Arbitration of corporate law disputes in joint stock companies under Turkish law: a comparative analysis
    (De Gruyter, 2019) N/A; Veziroğlu, Cem; Faculty Member; Law School; 265198
    This study addresses the arbitrability of corporate law disputes and the validity of arbitration clauses stipulated in the articles of association (AoA) of joint stock companies, and compares Turkish law with German and Swiss jurisdictions in particular. While corporate law disputes are considered arbitrable, disputes concerning invalidity of corporate decisions and actions for dissolution are heavily debated. The paper argues that both types of disputes are arbitrable, albeit judicial dissolution requests accommodate practical hurdles. It is also argued that arbitral awards should be granted the erga omnes effect, as long as the interested third parties are provided with the necessary procedural protection. Furthermore, arbitration clauses can be validly stipulated in the AoA of privately held joint stock companies. However, the binding effect of the arbitration clause in question depends on its legal nature, namely, korporative or formell. Addressing this issue, the paper proposes to adopt a two-step test. Finally, it suggests practicable legislative recommendations and a model arbitration clause in order to enable and facilitate arbitration in corporate law disputes.

    Big promises, small gains: domestic effects of human rights treaty ratification in the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council
    (Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Press, 2016) Ghanea, Nazila; Jones, Benjamin; N/A; Çalı, Başak; Faculty Member; Law School
    In recent years, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states have been increasingly willing to ratify United Nations human rights instruments. This article examines the underlying rationales for these ratifications and the limited range and drivers of subsequent domestic reforms post ratification. Drawing on both a quantitative analysis of engagement with the UN treaty bodies and Charter-based mechanisms in over 120 UN reports and qualitative interviews with over sixty-five government officials, members of civil society, National Human Rights Institutions, lawyers, and judges from all six states, this article argues that in the GCC states, UN human rights treaty ratification results from a desire to increase standing in the international community. Treaty ratification has limited effects driven by international socialization and cautious leadership preferences.
