This article by Demet Çelik Ulusoy and Oktay Şekerli addresses the constitutional framework of refugee rights in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus through a comparative constitutional law lens. It proceeds from the stated premise that international refugee law alone does not provide effective protection, examines normative gaps in the TRNC Constitution, and identifies discrepancies with international standards in relation to non-refoulement, personal liberty and access to social rights, before setting out constitutional protection proposals.
How refugee rights, especially the principle of non-refoulement and social rights, should be constitutionally protected in the TRNC Constitution
