Sample Text
Law No. 6278, which requires the permission of the Prime Minister to investigate persons carrying out intelligence services, finds its source in the Constitution. However, this permission system, which is based on the Constitutional provision, is contrary to supra-constitutional norms such as the separation of powers and the principle of equality. In addition, this regulation introduced by the Law is not only contrary to the principle of "certainty" but also the product of a "different" criminal law policy. Considering that the Constitutional Court interprets the legislature's discretion regarding this criminal policy very broadly, it has become a necessity to envisage a "parliamentary lawfulness control" mechanism to ensure the supervision of intelligence activities., The Code numbered 6278 that subjects the investigation of intelligence officers to the permission of the Prime Minister is based on the Constitution. However, this Constitution-based ''Permission-System'' is in contradiction with the supra constitutional norms such as equality and separation of powers. This regulation is also inconsistent with the principle of certainty and is a product of another criminal policy. Considering the extensive interpretation by the Constitutional Court of the margin of appreciation of the legislator, it has become a necessity to implement “a parliamentary legal review” mechanism to control intelligence activities.
