Abstract:
On February 9, 2023, the Belgian law firm Van Steenbrugge Advocaten (VSA), Belgium-based NGO Turkey Tribunal, and the European Magistrates for Democracy and Freedom (MEDEL) filed a complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Turkey for alleged crimes against humanity. The lawyers claim that Erdogan’s regime perpetrated systematic attacks on the civilian population to promote his agenda following the 2016 coup attempt and showed contempt for basic principles of international law.
