The right of public officials to respect for private and family life

In today's world where technology has developed so much, it is of critical importance that people's private and family lives are respected by other people and especially by the state, while this importance increases even more when it comes to public officials. The aim of this study, which was chosen with the awareness of this importance; it is to seek answers to the questions of when the private and family lives of public officials will be of interest to the administration, and what kinds of actions of the administration will constitute an interference with the right to respect for private and family life of public officials. In the first part of the study, with the definition of private life, the right to be unreachable and the sanctions applied to public officials due to moral status were examined and answers were sought to the questions. The issues were discussed together with the judicial decisions, and it was concluded that the right not to be reached should reach at least a certain minimum level of weight in order to be related to private life. Although there is no hesitation within the scope of the right to respect for private life, it has been concluded that the moral status of a public official should not concern the administration unless it has an effect on the performance of his duties and the discipline of the institution. In the second part, the definition of family life is made and the relationship between appointments based on spousal status and the right to respect for family life is revealed. Spouse status appointments have been examined by judicial decisions whether they violate an interest within the scope of the right to respect for family life.
