Özet:

 Every human being is born with dignity and wants to lead a life with dignity. In order to do so, one must possess certain inherent rights, namely human rights, for which being born human is enough. In this sense, everyone possesses equal human rights. However, some people may become disadvantaged after birth for different reasons against their will compared to others. These disadvantages negatively affect equality among people and harm social justice. For this reason, disadvantaged people are given some compensatory rights in order to ensure equality and social justice among people, with equality among individuals on one hand and social justice on the other being realized through the principle of equity. Of course, justice and equality do not appear all on their own, and important responsibilities fall on the administration regarding this point. Through the principle of a social state, the administration is obliged to take measures that will eliminate injustice and inequalities among the people. This paper examines the meaning of the principle of positive discrimination and its relationship with the principle of equality in terms of distributive justice and evaluates administrative obligations in this regard. The article discusses some of the practices and regulations that are made as forms of positive discrimination in terms of being contradictory to the principle of equality under law, with a critical discussion in particular on the issue of whether positive discrimination is in favor of women who have no disabilities or of a particular situation. The papers conclusion identifies some of the deficiencies on the subject and makes certain suggestions for solutions.

 Her insan onurlu doğar ve onurlu bir şekilde hayatını sürdürmek ister. İnsanın onurlu bir hayat sürdürebilmesi için yaradılıştan kaynaklanan bazı haklara, yani insan haklarına sahip olması gerekir. İnsan haklarına sahip olabilmek için ise insan olarak doğmuş olmak yeterlidir. Bu anlamda herkes, insan haklarına eşit olarak sahiptir. Fakat doğumdan itibaren ya da sonradan farklı nedenlerle bazı insanlar, kendi iradeleri dışında, diğer insanlara göre dezavantajlı olabilirler. Bu dezavantajlı durumlar insanlar arasındaki eşitliği olumsuz yönde etkilemekte ve sosyal adalete zarar vermektedir. Bu nedenle insanlar arasında eşitliği ve sosyal adaleti sağlamaya yönelik, dezavantajlı durumda olan kişilere telafi edici bazı haklar verilmektedir. Bu şekilde bir taraftan kişiler arasında hakkaniyet ilkesine uygun olarak eşitlik, diğer taraftan toplumda sosyal adalet gerçekleşmiş olur. Tabii olarak adalet ya da eşitlik kendiliğinden sağlanmaz. Bu noktada idareye önemli yükümlülükler düşmektedir. İdare, sosyal devlet ilkesi gereğince, alacağı tedbirlerle insanlar arasındaki eşitsizliği gidermekle yükümlüdür. İdarenin alacağı tedbirler sayesinde adaletsizlik ve eşitsizlikler giderilmiş olur. Çalışmada pozitif ayrımcılık ilkesinin anlamı ve eşitlik ilkesi ile olan ilişkisi dağıtıcı adalet açısından incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda idarenin yükümlülüklerine dair değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Pozitif ayrımcılık olarak yapılan bazı uygulama ve düzenlemeler kanun önünde eşitlik ilkesine aykırılık yönünden tartışılmıştır. Özellikle herhangi bir engeli ya da özel durumu olmayan kadınlar lehine pozitif ayrımcılık yapılmasına gerek olup olmadığı hususu eleştirel bir bakış ile ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuç kısmında konuya dair eksiklikler tespit edilerek bazı çözüm önerilerinde bulunulmuştur.
