The overall domestic context following the full defeat of the old regime in Turkey, and the main contours of the Islamist (‘Islamo-nationalist’, Millî Görüş) populism now in full swing, are described in this chapter. The discussion looks into the mood in the pro-government circles, with some emphasis on the Islamist speculations on democracy—terrifying to the secular masses—and the effective rule by policy, rather than law, enabled by the growing cult of Erdogan. This chapter also describes the spectacular fall out between the government and the former allies, who strongly shared in the power through the new bureaucracy, the Gulen cult. One centrifugal factor detected in portraying the setting is the formal commitment to the human rights protection system in Europe, which, paradoxically, acquired greater intensity during the regime change in a desperate attempt on the part of the government to by-pass the former centres of power.

The SADC Tribunal was originally suspended by the SADC Heads of State and Government in August 2010. On 18 August 2012 at their Summit in Maputo, Mozambique, the SADC leaders took a decision to continue with the suspension of the SADC tribunal while simultaneously re-negotiating a new Protocol on the SADC Tribunal. Crucially for this article, the Summit also took a decision to limit the jurisdiction of the SADC Tribunal to the determination of inter-state disputes and the interpretation of the SADC Treaty and its protocols and divested it of the jurisdiction to entertain claims lodged by private persons. This decision effectively means that the Tribunal will no longer enjoy the power to entertain human rights claims, since they are invariably brought to court by natural persons. This article argues that the Summit’s decision to close to the SADC Tribunal to individuals is arbitrary, politically motivated and will undermine the regional human rights protection system and consequently undermine SADC’s ultimate objectives, namely regional integration and economic growth.
