Introduction: Exploring Non-Discrimination in Turkey

Abstract

The principle of non-discrimination is at the heart of the international law, being “the only human rights explicitly included in the United Nations(UN) Charter, and they appear at the beginning of virtually every major human rights instrument” (Farrior, S. (2017). Introduction. In S. Farrior (Ed.). Equality and Non-discrimination under International Law Volume II. (xii-xxiii).London and New York: Routledge., p. xi). The principle requires equality of all persons without any discrimination on the basis of various elements like race, color, ethnicity, language, sex, sexual orientation, religion, political opinion, social or economic origin. © The Editor(s)(if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
