The Turkish Constitution sets out in Art. 2 that the Republic of Turkey is a democratic, secular and social state governed by the rule of law. And under Art. 36, everyone has the right to a legal remedy either as plaintiff or defendant and the right to a fair trial before the courts. In view of the above provisions, it may be said that the Turkish state has a duty to establish an effective mechanism for the realization of access to justice.

The employees, who work in judicial section, have being used very old technologies. Cases have being drived to long in the scales. It has being taken up long  time to come to a conclusion the cases. The problems faced by the judiciary are complex, ranging from the enormous workload, inadequate training, information and monitoring.  Legal procedures were complicated and disorganized. It must be carry out a reform on judicial sector in Turkey

National Programme for the Adoption of the Acquis

The Accession Partnership with Turkey was adopted on 8 March 2001, and the Government of Turkey prepared a National Plan for the Adoption of the Acquis (NPAA) to achieve the objectives stated in the Accession Partnership. Modernisation of justice and penal reform are included as fundamental priorities in the Accession Partnership and in the NPAA.

In the course of progress towards accession to the European Union and in response to the obligations of the acquis of the EU and its Member States, the Turkish government, is actively following a National Programme for the Adoption of the Acquis. However the objective of the process of law approximation is to not only implement the relevant amendments to existing legislation but as importantly, to strengthen those institutions responsible for the enforcement or implementation of the new procedures and processes.

Thus UYAP  establish an electronic network covering all Courts, Offices of Public Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Offices together with the Central Organization of the Ministry of Justice in order to realize these aims.

They were trained in ANKARA and they work in their unıts ın order to roll out UYAP in all dependent units now. They solve the problems immediately that they encounter in the courts and give training to the other staff.
