Egypt declares Libya-Turkey maritime deal invalid
Egypt announced its rejection of the Libyan House of Representatives' ratification of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Turkey and Libya in 2019 regarding maritime delimitation in the Mediterranean Sea. It affirmed that the memorandum is null and has no legal effect. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that the memorandum conflicts with the principles of international law under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982, and infringes upon Egypt’s sovereign rights within its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf. It also recalled its previous opposition to this memorandum and its legal right to defend its maritime interests.
