Although Turkey has made several legal reforms related to its prohibition of torture, inhuman and degrading treatment and freedom of expression violations, such violations have continued to pose a problem. Consequent to a comparison of the human rights policies of the United Kingdom and Turkey, this paper suggests that the incorporation the European Convention on Human Rights into Turkish domestic law could be beneficial for the country. The United Kingdom's law is a convincing example of the advantages of incorporating the Convention. The comparison of the legal frameworks, case law and the statistics of the European Court of Human Rights provide an evidence to underpin this thesis. Consequently, the research concentrates on whether the United Kingdom's law can be a guide for Turkey to cope with its human rights law deficiencies.

[1] In the 1970s, the exchange rates system was abandoned. [2] Nowadays, the modern role of the IMF is to provide long-term loans for developing countries which have balance of payments problems. [3] The fundamental instruments of the IMF and WB to affect national policies are conditionality, which means the debtor country has to meet certain provisions and criteria. [4] In other words, the IMF and WB provide assistance to the debtor countries as long as their policies are implemented. [5] On the other hand, conditionality provides protection to the IFI that the credit is being utilized for the agreed intention and the debtor will be able to acquit its debt. [6] From the Fund's perspective, if creditor countries adhere to its program, they will repay IMF loans. [7] Yet, after Argentina, Russia and Asia financial crises in the 1990's, the IMF was charged with compelling useless policies, [8] and the assertion that conditionality serves to secure repayment is rebutted after fiascos of IMF policies. [9] It is also noteworthy that the World Bank stipulates fewer conditions than the IMF. [10] The essential aims of the IMF are regulated in Article 1 of the Articles of
