Ten months after its presentation, the Turkey-Libya Memorandum on the delimitation of maritime zones between the two countries was signed at the UN.
Greek Foreign Ministry sources spoke of a formal technical procedure that does not confer legitimacy.
“The registration and publication of all types of agreements presented by the states to the UN Secretariat is a formal and technical procedure. “This action does not give legitimacy to the texts of the protocol, nor does it imply the recognition of the content by the United Nations,” say sources from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs quoted by the APE.
This “agreement” is illegal and invalid, say the same sources, who point out that “it was concluded illegally and was not ratified, as it should be, by the Libyan House of Representatives, as evidenced by the letter from the latter’s president to the secretary general. from the ONU “.
Diplomatic sources also highlight that the “agreement” violates the Convention on the Law of the Sea, while pointing out that “its illegal nature has been emphasized and denounced by the international community.”
In this context, it is recalled that the EU Summit of December 13, 2019 had condemned the Turkish-Libyan memorandum as a violation of international law.
