The joint project on “Improving the Effectiveness of the Administrative Judiciary and Strengthening the Institutional Capacity of the Council of State” aims to foster public confidence in the administrative judiciary by further strengthening its independence, impartiality and effectiveness and increasing its public awareness. It proposes measures to support the reforms that have been introduced by the Turkish authorities and develop further the administrative justice, if needed.
To this end, the project translated three Council of Europe publications to Turkish, that are:
1- THE ADMINISTRATION AND YOU HANDBOOK
The Council of Europe Handbook “The Administration and You” is a reference book collecting the standards set by the Council of Europe for good administration. The handbook illustrates the principles of administrative law to be applied in the relations between individuals and administrative authorities in accordance with conventions and recommendations of the Council of Europe and relevant caselaw of the European Court of Human Rights.

The casebook will help practitioners in the field of administrative justice to ensure the observance of the fair trial standards and their principles applicable under Article 6, paragraph 1, of the European Convention on Human Rights and, by doing so, to further strengthen the rule of law, accountability and transparency of the public administration and administrative justice.
