The report released today by the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial,
summary or arbitrary executions, Ms. Agnes Callamard, into the killing of
journalist Mr. Cemal Kaşıkçı confirms the findings of the investigation
that has been meticulously carried out by our relevant authorities.
In this context, the mentioned report reveals that the murder of Mr.
Kaşıkçı was premeditated, violating the basic principles of international
law and international relations, in particular international human rights
law, the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and UN principles.
We strongly support UN Special Rapporteur Ms. Callamard’s recommendations
that are aimed at fully elucidating the killing of Mr. Kaşıkçı and holding
all those responsible accountable. We also invite all UN Member States and
relevant international organizations to insist on implementing these
recommendations.
