The Libyan-Turkish Memorandum of Understanding on the Delimitation of Maritime Jurisdictions: A Critical Analytical Study (Muthakkirat al-Tafahum al-Libiyyah al-Turkiyyah li-Tarsim al-Hudud al-Bahriyyah: Dirasah Tahliliyyah Naqdiyyah)

Abstract

Through our research, we seek to define international memoranda of understanding, such as one of the international agreements of a simplified form, and to distinguish it from other international agreements known in the strict sense, despite their agreement in the same results, and their submission in most cases to the procedures, except for the sake of law. The most important characteristic of them - often - is that treaties go through several stages of lengthy and complex procedures, while memoranda of understanding, as simple agreements, are subject to easy and simple procedures, in the desire of their parties to achieve rapid results.

We have also referred in the research to the most important items included in the memorandum of understanding concluded by the Libyan Government of National Accord "in Tripoli" with the Turkish government regarding the delineation of the maritime borders between them, indicating the most important items that it contained, and its legal and legal criticisms on the part of its legal and legal agreements. Particularly the Law of the Sea Treaties 1958 AD / 1982 AD, and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969
