adopt legal, administrative or practical measures to address
enforced disappearances.
LLG – TGRLSP
Turkey has not introduced a comprehensive legislation on
enforced disappearances addressing any of the Working Group’s
recommendations in paragraphs 16-21. Furthermore, no support
has been offered to relatives of disappeared persons. The Turkish
authorities continue to deny allegations of enforced
disappearances since the coup attempt of 15 July 2016. The cases
of past enforced disappearances taken place in the 1980s and
1990s have been continuing to be closed by the judicial
authorities without any effective investigation into the incidents,
which has been accompanied by a persisting policy of impunity
and denial.
ICJ
There is no legislation adopted on enforced disappearances.
