希腊驳回利比亚东部议会批准土利比亚海域协议:外交部称备忘录无法律效力

希腊10月20日驳回利比亚东部议会众议院批准2019年土耳其与利比亚海洋划界协议的决定,称该协议不具法律效力。希腊外交部在 Athens 发表的声明中表示,该备忘录违反国际海洋法,侵犯地区内各国的主权权利,并指出土耳其与利比亚并不具有相对或相邻海岸,不足以支持这样的海域划界。
希腊外交部呼吁利比亚不要采取有损东地中海稳定的行动,并表示希腊已向伙伴与盟友通报情况,将采取一切适当措施维护自身主权权利。
该2019年备忘录由土耳其与利比亚民族团结政府签署,曾划定两国在东地中海的海域管辖范围,希腊方面自签署以来一直不予承认。此次利比亚东部议会众议院的批准决定于本周作出,希腊外交部的表态是 Athens 对此的正式回应。(GSM 据路透社报道)
Greece Rejects Libyan Approval of Turkey-Libya Maritime Deal: Foreign Ministry Says Memorandum Has No Legal Effect
Greece on October 20 rejected a decision by Libya's eastern-based House of Representatives to approve the 2019 maritime boundary agreement between Turkey and Libya, saying the deal was without legal effect. In a foreign ministry statement issued in Athens, Greece said the memorandum violated international law of the sea and infringed on the sovereign rights of states in the region, arguing that Turkey and Libya do not have opposite or adjacent coasts that would justify such a maritime delimitation.
Greece called on Libya to refrain from actions that undermine stability in the Eastern Mediterranean, and said it had informed partners and allies and would take all appropriate measures to safeguard its sovereign rights.
The 2019 memorandum was signed by Turkey and Libya's Government of National Accord and purported to delimit the two sides' maritime jurisdiction in the Eastern Mediterranean. Athens has not recognised the memorandum since it was signed, and the foreign ministry statement was Greece's formal response to the eastern parliament's approval this week.
