Özet:

 The status of statelessness has unfavorable consequences for both states and individuals. For this reason, statelessness has long been on the agenda of international community. To this end, states include various measures in their citizenship regulations. In addition, rules to prevent statelessness are adopted under international conventions. Indeed, the well-established principle of nationality law that everyone should have a nationality serves the purpose of preventing statelessness. The principle that everyone should have a nationality has also been adopted by the Turkish Nationality Law and various provisions have been included in the Turkish Nationality Act No. 5901 TNA to prevent statelessness. Our study is about the evaluation of some provisions of the TNA with a focus on the goal of preventing statelessness. Within the scope of the evaluation, the compatibility of the provisions of the TNA regarding the acquisition and loss of nationality with international conventions in the context of the goal of preventing statelessness is also discussed. One of the most important Conventions on the prevention of statelessness is the 1961 United Nations Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness CRS, which is exclusively aimed at preventing statelessness. In addition, the European Convention on Nationality ECN also includes provisions on the prevention of statelessness. The Republic of Turkey is not a party to the CRS and AVS. However, these Conventions are important as they set general trends and measures to prevent statelessness. Therefore, assessments of the compatibility of the provisions of the TNA with international conventions particularly focus on these two Conventions.

 Vatansızlık statüsünün hem devletler hem de bireyler bakımından sakıncalı sonuçları bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle vatansızlık uluslararası toplumun gündemini uzun süredir meşgul eden konular arasındadır. Nitekim vatandaşlık hukukunun köklü bir ilkesi olan herkesin bir vatandaşlığı olmalıdır ilkesi vatansızlık hallerinin önlenmesi amacına hizmet etmektedir. Devletler bu amaçla vatandaşlık düzenlemeleri kapsamında çeşitli önlemlere yer vermektedirler. Ayrıca, uluslararası sözleşmeler kapsamında vatansızlığın önlenmesine yönelik kurallar benimsenmektedir. Herkesin bir vatandaşlığı olmalıdır ilkesi Türk Vatandaşlık Hukukunca da benimsenmiş, 5901 Sayılı Türk Vatandaşlığı Kanunu TVK kapsamında vatansızlığın önlenmesine yönelik çeşitli hükümlere yer verilmiştir. Çalışmamız TVKnın bazı hükümlerinin vatansızlığın önlenmesi hedefi odağında değerlendirilmesine ilişkindir. Değerlendirme kapsamında Türk Vatandaşlığı Kanununun vatandaşlığının kazanılmasına ve kaybına ilişkin düzenlemelerinin vatansızlığın önlenmesi hedefi bağlamında uluslararası sözleşmelerle uyumluluğu da ele alınmaktadır. Vatansızlığın önlenmesine ilişkin en önemli sözleşmelerden biri münhasıran vatansızlığın önlenmesine yönelik olan 1961 tarihli Vatansızlığın Azaltılmasına Dair Birleşmiş Milletler Sözleşmesidir CRS. Bunun yanı sıra Avrupa Vatandaşlık Sözleşmesi AVS kapsamında da vatansızlığın önlenmesine ilişkin hükümler yer almaktadır. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti CRS ve AVSye taraf değildir. Ancak bu Sözleşmeler vatansızlığın önlenmesine ilişkin genel eğilim ve önlemleri belirlemeleri bakımından önem taşımaktadırlar. Bu nedenle Türk Vatandaşlığı Kanunu hükümlerinin uluslararası sözleşmelerle uyumluluğuna ilişkin değerlendirmeler özellikle bu iki Sözleşme üzerinde yoğunlaşmaktadır.
