JFW – IAHRA Geneva
The JWF and IAHRAGeneva are not aware of any policy or
changes in law and practice to ensure transparency and
consultation with civil society in the activities of the newly
established national human rights institutions.
Pursuant to Article 121 § 2 of the Constitution, the scope of the
Government’s emergency powers is defined in the Law on the
State of Emergency of 1983 (the 1983 Law). Articles 9 and 11 of
the 1983 law contain a catalogue, a closed list of measures, which
may be taken by the government in situations such as the
attempted coup of July 2016. In particular, the 1983 Law does not
provide for permanent dissolution of legal entities; Article 11(o)
only provides for the “suspension of the activities of associations
for periods not exceeding three months, after considering each
individual case.” In defiance of constitutional and other legal
provisions, 29 trade unions, 57 1,419 associations and 145
foundations were permanently closed following the attempted
coup. A total of approximately 150 civil society organizations
that served youth and children were also permanently closed by
the Decree Law 667, including 102 associations, 36 private
dormitories, 11 foundations and 1 federation.58
