Abstract:
This study provided suggestions highlighting the need for a new and civil constitution, evaluating the effective and full investigation in the context of human rights. This study highlights that arbitrary or incomplete practices of prosecutors and judges in the investigation phase could be prevented with a new and civilian constitution. Thus, impartial and independent execution of the investigation phase will be guaranteed by constitutional law. The method adopted in the study is to evaluate an effective and full investigation in the context of human rights and present recommendations accordingly. The introductory part of the study addresses the need for a new constitution in Türkiye. The concept of investigation is explained in the development section of the study.
