The Political Feasibility of the Istanbul Canal Project

The Political Feasibility of the Istanbul Canal Project

Dr Tiryaki and Mensur Akgün co-wrote the 27th GPoT Center Policy brief, titled “The Political Feasibility of the Istanbul Canal Project”. The paper argues that the feasibility of the Canal Project is valid only after specific changes are made in the application of the Montreux Convention. However,  this may lead to an outcome in which the signatories would question the legitimacy of the Convention under present conditions.

Dr Tiryaki’s latest academic article titled “Klimatický utečenec, klimatický migrant, či vnútorný vysídlenec?” has been published

Dr Tiryaki’s latest academic article titled “Klimatický utečenec, klimatický migrant, či vnútorný vysídlenec?” has been published in a Slovak legal journal Paneurópske právnické listy. The aim of this paper is to explore the gap in the international legal protection for climate migrants, distinguishing between internally displaced persons and cross-border migrants. The paper emphasizes the necessity of providing legal protection for both categories and considers the potential and effectiveness of existing human rights documents as a basis for short-term and long-term solutions, which are currently lacking.
