Responding to various inquiries, we inform that the Human Rights Defender also considers the existence of crimes aimed at the security of the State during and after the 44-day war, their sheer numbers, and the modes of manifestations of the alleged criminal acts worrying. At the same time, the Human Rights Defender finds that more effective preventive activities should be conducted to prevent these, including the implementation of relevant prevention measures.
In other words, the solutions to further increase the efficiency of the activities of law enforcement bodies, including the bodies carrying out operational intelligence and counterintelligence activities, should not be sought in the reduction of human rights and freedoms and constitutional values registered by the Constitution.
In addition, the truth that the effectiveness of the general preventive function of the criminal policy is determined not only by the severity of the punishment for the criminal act, but by ensuring the inevitability of its punishment is undeniable. Hence, according to the Defender's assessment, the criminal policy of the state, and specifically in cases of crimes against the security of the state, including high treason, should be aimed at increasing the effectiveness of actions aimed at preventing, or disrupting possible criminal acts and ensuring the inevitability of the punishment of committed crimes.
The Human Rights Defender, who is also a member of the Council of Constitutional Reforms, does not consider the discussion of such a proposal appropriate, because it greatly violates the right to life, and the constitutional and democratic values of human rights protection.
