LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS OF THE RIGHT TO LIFE UNDER THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND TURKISH LAW

Abstract

While philosophical, moral and religious debates continue in terms of the value and quality of human life, legal systems seek ways to protect individuals from situations that cannot be described as a natural death. Every person has a value from legal and humanitarian view. In short, every human being has the right to live. This right is protected by law. For this purpose, the right to life is accepted as an inviolable right and center of rights both in domestic law and in the European Convention on Human Rights. This article mainly deals with the right to live under the European Convention on Human Rights and Turkish law. In addition, the subject, importance and exceptions of the right to live, the responsibility of the state in the protection of this right and special cases related to the right to life are written.
