Özet:

 

At the opening ceremony of the Turkish Justice Academy’s  2007-2008 academic year, the Chief Justice of the Court of  Cassation (Yargıtay) challenged the prospective judges:  “The main component of judgeship is impartiality. However, you  will be partial in your decisions to protect and sustain the Republic of  Turkey. If we are here today, it is because of the rights secured by our  Republic. You should, and have to, know that the Republic form of  government is the most appropriate regime suitable for human dignity  and honor. You will be partial to claiming ownership of a democratic  and secular system and the rule of law; you will be partial to owning  our crescent and star flag, and to raising the flag even higher. You do  not have the luxury of being impartial to these issues”.  While emphasizing the principle of impartiality, the Chief Justice  was pointing to the boundaries of this principle. When the problems  of the judiciary are at issue, the independence of the judiciary and ethical principles are the two values mentioned most frequently; however, treated like an orphan child, the principle of impartiality is rarely  mentioned. What does the principle of impartiality mean? Are there  any limits to the principle of ethical impartiality?.
