of the Child. 19. As a result, the implementation of Decree 680 will result in the arbitrary deprivation of nationality of Turkish citizens, new cases of statelessness and violation of international standards. Steps taken pursuant to the issuance of Decree 680 20. Further to the issuance of Decree 680, the Turkish Ministry of Justice declared that it would issue a “return home” Gazette Notice naming those who were overseas and being investigated for the crimes outlined. On 5 June 2017, a “return home” notice published in the Official Gazette contained the names of 130 individuals who were issued summons to return to Turkey and present themselves for criminal investigation. Recipients of the notice were given three months to surrender themselves for investigation. 21. On 10 September 2017, a second return home “Gazette Notice” was issued by the Turkish Government, threatening 99 Turkish citizens in exile with the stripping of their citizenship. 22. ISI will aim to further update its information on the impact of Decree 680, beyond 2017. However, it is evident that those deprived of citizenship will not be able to return to their country and may not be able to leave their country of residence. Those who have no second nationality risk being rendered stateless. They will rely on international protection under the 1954 Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol or subsidiary protection under other mechanisms. Those who do not receive any international protection will be particularly vulnerable. In addition to the risk of being arbitrarily deprived of nationality, parents are likely to be unable to transfer nationality to their children, potentially resulting in the denial of the child’s right to acquire a nationality under Article 7 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
