During most of the time since its creation in 1981 the CMP did not undertake any activities and out of the overall 1995 persons reported missing, only 321 have been identified so far. This article seeks to analyze the committees’ activities, locate strengths and weaknesses.

The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the situation of Kurdish women who are serving a sentence of imprisonment or being held in detention or in one of police antiterrorist units and to portray this situation in the light of Turkey’s international legal commitments. The main thesis that authors are trying to prove is the statement that tortures and othercruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment which women experience during servingthe punishment is de facto a state-sanctioned form of oppression. The first part of this article isdedicated mainly to present the back ground of the problem which is composed, among others ofshort outline of Turkey-Kurdistan Workers’ Party (Kurdish: Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan; PKK) conflict, the role of women in the PKK and the position of women in Kurdish society. The nextpart of this analysis is dedicated to portray the international legal commitments of Turkey whichis a signatory of majority of most important from the point of view of human rights documentsand declarations. The aim of the third part of this review is to present the real situation of Kurdish women who are serving a sentence of imprisonment or being held in the custody under the pretext of having connections to PKK and next, to reveal discrepancy between this situation andnorms and standards resulting from Turkey’s conventional commitments which are mentioned above. The aim of carried out in the last part of this article, based on two cases that was brought infront of the European Court for Human Rights case study is to prove that the problem of using violence, especially a sexual violence, against Kurdish women in Turkish prisons and custodies byTurkish prison service officers and the impunity of them is still a real and actual problem, despitethe fact that Turkey implements changes in it’s legislation that theoretically should prevent thiskind of illtreatment and abusing of power.
