Egypt Declares Turkey-Libya Maritime MoU 'Absolutely Void' After Libyan Parliament Ratifies Deal: MFA The Libyan-Turkish maritime jurisdiction memorandum of understanding infringes on Cairo's sovereign rights in its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, the foreign ministry stated, stressing that the approval holds no legal consequences for Egypt.The agreement violates the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and international principles of justice and equity, the ministry said. This comes after the Libyan Government of National Accord's House of Representatives voted unanimously on Tuesday to ratify the deal and reverse its previous decisions to reject it and cut political ties with Ankara.The MoU was originally signed in November 2019 by former Libyan PM Fayez al-Sarraj and Turkey.
