Assisting Turkish lawyers about the application of detention in the context of migration, aligned with European standards

In the framework of the European Union and Council of Europe joint action on “Strengthening the human rights protection in the context of migration in Türkiye,” in co-operation with the Union of Turkish Bar Associations, 133 lawyers from İzmir, Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Mardin and Bursa Bar Associations enhanced their knowledge on ‘Detention in the Context of Migration’. The 5 cascade trainings not only contributed to strengthen lawyers' knowledge and capacities on the applicable human rights protection standards on immigration detention but also equipped them with the necessary skills to better protect the rights of migrants.

The training, delivered by experienced lawyers/mentors who had previously been trained under the action, aimed to advance Turkish lawyers' knowledge about the protection of human rights in line with international and European standards related to the principle of non-refoulment, the right to liberty and security, including the lawfulness of detention, alternatives to immigration detention, and the protection of persons in a vulnerable situation.

Similar trainings with other local Bar Associations across Türkiye will be planned in the upcoming months.

This  action on “Strengthening the human rights protection in the context of migration in Türkiye”  is co-funded by the European Union and Council of Europe under the “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye” programme.
