Right to privacy in the scope of human rights

The scope ot this thesis is to display the historical roots of the ?right to privacy?, to determine the legal procedure of the protection of the ?right to privacy? in international and Turkish legislation, to discover the conditions where the violations of right to privacy begins and to start a deliberation about how to minimize these violations. The European Human Rights Law and Turkish law is used as a legal source for this thesis. Initially, the human rights law and its basic concepts are appraised and afterwards a clear definition of the ?right to privacy? is made so that the praxis of this subject matter can be transpired with the deductive method. In light of the evaluated court decisions and the everyday life exercises, it is figured out that the individual?s private life is up against to more and more escalation threats. By the end of this thesis it is found out that, as far as the modern person is concerned, it is obvious that right to privacy is not protected sufficiently. Because of the loopholes in the law, the sufficient protection cannot be given to the issues in the scope of private life. Especially, the modern people don?t react to the violations of their privacy rights in spite of what is expected. It is confirmed that the juristic improvements cannot come up with the existing improvements and remain insufficient to the world where internet usage is thought to be unlimited. To convert this conclusion into a positive favorable result, not only the building up of the legislation is up to par but the improvement of the private individual is needed without question.
