Özet

Uluslararası insan hakları sözleşmeleri ve uluslararası ceza mahkemelerinin kuruluş statüleri sanıklara kendilerini savunma hakkı tanımaktadır. Fakat, pratikte bu hakkın (kötüye) kullanılması davanın yürütülmesi açısından birçok zorluğa neden olmuştur. Uygulamada meydana gelen bütün zorluklara rağmen, uluslararası ceza mahkemelerinde yargılanan sanıkların kendilerini savunma hakkından yararlanmaları gerekliliği doktrinde sıkça ifade edilmiştir. Bu makalede, sanıkların uluslararası ceza mahkemelerinde kendilerini savunma hakkını kullanmalarının pratikte ne gibi zorluklara yol açtığı ve hakkın kullanılmasının hangi durumlarda kısıtlanması gerektiği tartışılacaktır.
