JWF – IAHRA Geneva Family members of the disappeared persons, inside and outside Turkey are not aware of the existence of any national reparation programme that includes compensation, restitution, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition for all victims of human rights violations, including enforced disappearance, without discrimination. Several of them even specifically asked the court for the provision of psychological support, but their needs were ignored. Not only the families cover their court and all other expenses in full, but in one case all assets of an enforced disappeared person were arbitrarily confiscated by the authorities. LLG – TGRLSP The Working Group welcomes the adoption of Judicial Reform Strategy and hopes that it will lead to the development and implementation of a national reparation programme, with a victim-centered and gender-based approach.
