Abstract

Abstract

Especially the citizens of the States which are less developed, having repressive regimes and in armed conflicts try to smuggle to other States by sea as well as by air and land to benefit the rights accorded to refugees. These efforts of the smuggled migrants are organized by various ciminal organizations. This kind of crime gets rather advantageous for the smugglers so that no risk exists for the smugglers while the smuggled migrants face the entire risk in the migrant smuggling activities. The accidents occuring during the events of migrant smuggling by sea at rough sea conditions, with unseaworthy vessels and by unexperienced crew and very risky methods for the human life cause very tragic results. The smuggled migrants are not assumed as guilty and tried to be protected by international law via fundamental human rights and the responsibility of States to render assistance and rescue. Information about the protections of international law afforded to the smuggled migrants by sea and the practices of States will tried to be given in this study.

Özet

Özellikle çatışmaların yaşandığı, baskıcı rejimler tarafından yönetilen ve az gelişmiş devletlerin vatandaşları, hava ve kara yoluyla olduğu gibi deniz yoluyla da diğer devletlere kaçak yollardan girerek bu devletlerde sığınmacı haklarından yararlanmaya çalışmaktadırlar. Kaçak göçmenlerin bu çabaları, çeşitli suç örgütleri tarafından organize edilmektedir. Gerçekleştirilen göçmen kaçakçılığı faaliyetlerinde kaçakçılar açısından herhangi bir risk durumu söz konusu olmazken, tüm risk kaçırılan göçmenler üzerinde yoğunlaştığından, bu suç türü kaçakçılar için oldukça avantajlı bir hal almaktadır. Kötü deniz şartlarında, denize elverişli olmayan teknelerle ve tecrübesiz mürettebatla yapılan ve insan hayatı için oldukça riskli yöntemler kullanılan deniz yoluyla göçmen kaçakçılığı olaylarında oluşan kazalar, oldukça trajik sonuçlara neden olmaktadır. Uluslararası hukukta kaçırılan göçmenler, suçlu olarak kabul edilmeyip; bu kişilere, temel insan hakları ve devletlerin denizde yardım ve kurtarma sorumlulukları çerçevesinde koruma sağlanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Çalışmada deniz yoluyla kaçırılan göçmenlere uluslararası hukukta sağlanan korumalar ile devletlerin uygulamaları hakkında bilgi verilmeye çalışılacaktır.
